Mobsmen On The Spot

"The Shadow Fights The Rackets" was the submission title to the ninth published tale of The Shadow.  This is the second use of this artwork, the first appearing on the sixth story, The Death Tower.  I guess The Shadow Unmasks wasn't the first time we see our hero's face.  I do like the painting and we can see the basics of The Dark Eagle and the color palette that Rozen would employ in so many great covers.
This story introduces us to Cliff Marsland, the only agent to marry (that we know of).  I read Mobsmen when it was reprinted in the '70's.  I look forward to reading it again when Sanctum reprints it.
