Forgotten Gold

  Adequate cover from Graves Gladney.  It's not bad, just not iconic or memorable.  Kinda what this review has to say about the story by Walter B. Gibson. 
  I think I may have too high of expectations for all stories and art when it comes to The Shadow.  So many stories, so many outside influences tugging at the direction of the series.  WWII making itself felt, not only in the series but every aspect of American life.  Changes in editorial staff and changes in public tastes all affected how the series progressed after the glory years of the '30s.  Granted the war hadn't started for the US yet but things were changing for our country and The Shadow wasn't immune to the winds that were beginning to blow in all aspects of life in America.
