The Black Hush

Probably the most recognizable image of The Shadow ever created.  This set the standard by which all renderings of The Dark Eagle would be judged.  Even Steranko recreated this image during his run on the 70's paperbacks.  I had an orange t-shirt with this image ironed onto it.  My best friend was wearing a blue one when I met him in late 1976 and that probably was the tie that binds as far as our friendship is concerned (and he's not even a fan!).  There are covers I like better but one cannot argue that this may be the most famous of all the covers created.  Oh, yeah, the story was pretty good, too.
