Fat Tuesday seems appropriate to highlight this cover to the tale originally titled "Crime Trails the Mardi Gras". This cover reminds me of some of the old Post covers by J C Leyendecker, one of my favorite illustrators. The Shadow doesn't seem to thrilled to have confetti draped over his trademark slouch hat. I do like this illustration and am intrigued by the box that the young debutante is passing to the young man. It makes me curious as to what is unfolding in the French Quarter.
