Fingers of Death
Love this cover. Okay, throw out the horrible "rainbow" surrounding The Shadow and you have a seminal painting of our hero. The wonderful color palette, the great hands and the piercing eyes. The slouch hat is about as perfect as it ever had been and the idea that The Shadow was covering the entire world, albeit he is pointing to the East Coast of the United States. This is how I think of The Shadow. I even like the placement of the title. As far as a depiction of the Dark Eagle, I put this up their with "The Book of Death" and "The Black Hush". Oh, if you want a review of this tale, go here.
