River of Death

Originally titled "Davy Jones' Locker" this tale is by Theodore Tinsley and seems to get a thumbs up from this review.  As I can't speak to the story I'll stick to a brief critique of the cover.  Just not my favorite.  The colors don't work for me and the way the row boat is "anchored" by the lower left corner stops any feel of action (although this isn't an action cover) that may have been intended.  I would like to have seen the logo kind of show through the skull, giving it a more "spectral" feel.  Not very well rendered and missing some elements that push this to the realm of The Shadow's familiar look.  This looks like it could have any character standing in the dinghy casting a nondescript shadow against the pink hull of a nameless ship.  Okay, I'll lay off.  Just not one of my favorites.
