Th Shadow Annual 1942 Edition

And the Oscar goes to... no, that ain't right.  Pretty boring cover, painted okay though.  The header states “A selection of the best Shadow novels.”  Contents are the three complete mystery novels The Living Shadow, The Ghost Makers & The Black Hush.  Kinda interesting that the 42 Annual would reprint novels from 31, 32 & 33.  Almost like they were trying to remind readers of the great history of The Shadow.  Or they were trying to give late comers to the magazine a chance to see where this phenomenon started.
  Just for comparison...
