I'm going to let Agent T give today's commentary.
"THE GREEN
BOX, one of my favorites, due to the blue pallor, bar shadows falling across The
Shadow and background, and purple background. [My favorite color, perhaps.] Also
like the orange lettering, never to be seen again w/the original logo...The big
ring doesn't hurt, as I'm sure you'll agree! Just reread the story, and though
it introduces Farrow, Hawkeye and Tapper, it's kind of one-note and draggy, with
The Shadow not given much to do outside of the prison intro and train
denouement. Too bad..."
If, like me, you haven't read this one check out this review for a slightly more in-depth analysis of the tale that sports quite an excellent cover.
