I have to admit to a fondness for the covers with skeletons in them. Just adds to the eeriness that one comes to expect from The Shadow Magazine. I'm sure the rifle is part of the story but I don't think it fits the image of our hero. No ring in this one, a missed opportunity in my opinion. The crimson sparkle on the left hand and it is placed on the bony shoulder of the "villain" could make one wonder what the Crimson Death was? The liquid being poured into the beaker or the vengeance of The Shadow! Easy to second guess 70 years later.
The story? I can't say as I haven't read it. But you can get an idea if you click here.
