The Shadow's Shadow

Oh yeah.  I really love this cover.  Just from the aspect that it must have JUMPED off of the newsstand and made the fan and even the casual reader a bit curious.  Sure, it's not the greatest in terms of rendering but this painting gives you a nearly full body of our hero being stealthy but also the drama of him being stalked.  Heh, I would have loved to have seen this peeking out amongst all of the other publications back in the day.  I have even read this one, granted it was in paperback form with a Steranko cover (nothing wrong with that) but this really screams the era.
Oh, and this is the one that brings out the "horror face".  If you are not familiar with that bit of Shadow lore, then read this tale.
