Great cover! The hands that seem to move of their own accord. The mysterious ring gleaming on the left hand. The piercing eyes and the masklike face (what we can see of it) all make for what has become a classic image of The Shadow. I read this story back in the 70's when I first became fascinated with our hero. It wasn't until years later that I saw the artwork that first accompanied this tale. It always makes me long for days that were simpler and had less gray areas. A time to let your imagination run free as the words conjured up scenes that only you were privy to. Now we have video games that, as cool as they are, take all of that away from you. The story? Well now, just click this link for a synopsis.
