The Golden Master

Iconic cover for an iconic villain.  This cover works on every level.  Shiwan is in control yet the light of victory is being blotted out by The Shadow.  The rendering is beautiful and the color palette is wonderful.  This cover is a classic.  Graves Gladney at his best.  This is the first tale in the series of four novels that feature the villain that would most be associated with The Shadow as the years rolled on.  Check out this review to either familiarize yourself with the story or to refresh your memory.
