Gangdom's Doom

Or "The Shadow Cleans Up Chicago".  Yeah, the published title is better.  This is the fifth novel in the historic 325 issue run of "The Shadow Magazine".  It's great to see The Shadow on the cover, it just hasn't gotten to the iconic stage just yet.  There really isn't much to say regarding this Jerome Rozen cover.  The familiar elements are here; the slouch hat, the crimson lined cloak, the black business suit and his gloves.  But that is all that indicates our hero.  We haven't yet seen the aquiline nose, piercing eyes and knitted eyebrows.  But that comes soon and an icon will be born.  The story?  Well, it is a rather famous one so if you haven't read it at least check out this synopsis.
