The Crime Cult

Printed on a silver coating this is the first true portrait of The Shadow.  While not the best it does place all of the classic points (minus the ring) that we have come to expect of any painting of our hero, right down to the dual coloring of his face (so extreme that it almost looks like Two Face from the early days of Batman).  I love this cover for it's place in The Shadow's history.  I have read the story but that was back in the 70's and I look forward to the reprint.  As Agent T mused, will Anthony Tollin use this image as his cover when he reprints and will he print it on silver?  One can hope.
