A rather interesting cover if only from the standpoint of seeing The Shadow from behind. Almost like the viewer is sneaking up on him. I'm not sure the two men in the boat convey a sense of danger which lessens the impact of this image. If they were armed, maybe. As it is I feel our hero is just jealous that these guys get to go fishing and he's stuck at his late shift job. Seeing as how this came from 1935 when the magazine was at it's best (granted it's "best" ran for quite a long while) they could have puts hearts and ponies on the cover and it would have flown off the rack.
