A couple of prep sketches from Sandy Kossin, the artist whose worked graced a couple of reprints during the Bantam run in the sixties. His cover for "The Living Shadow" is the first time I ever saw a representation of The Shadow.

Sandy actually did the first 5 Bantams; somebody else did the final two. I liked his covers then but wished at the time The Shadow looked closer to his portrayal on the Belmont series. Now I appreciate Kossin's work MUCH more than I did; he was [is] a really great, creative and almost Impressionistic artist. Great article about/by him in ILLUSTRATION #25, a very nice magazine you should check out, if you haven't already!
