Which is better?


Okay, it's not really a fair question.  However, I do like how they updated the image for the Belmont cover.

Man, I wish Alex Toth had done a cartoon version of The Shadow


Even a stand alone comic.  Anything!  Toth was born to bring The Shadow to life!!!

What's the Difference answer #33





"Agent J reports: villain's red tie, name on life preserver (lower left), villain's gun length, The Shadow's gun length, face on lower right (from The Yellow Band!), The Shadow face in tube opening (from Jan and April 1932 covers!)."

Great job, Agent J!  Bonus points for identifying the covers that I stole the images from.

Well done, Agent J...


Mobsmen on the Spot is indeed the answer.  Glad the slouch hat and covered mouth became the look versus the Inquisitor vibe.

What's the Difference part 33






Round 33 has six (6) differences.  This is a great cover, I hope I didn't ruin it too much.

The big reveal...


"Agent J reports: 1963, Flock, The Shadow's eye, villain's gun, villain's sleeve." 
 So close.  The "E" in the masthead has been reversed.  Thanks for playing.

The Golden Master!






Agent J, you are correct.  I really love this cover and I believe this image really influenced the '94 film.  (The underrated '94 film).  Thanks for playing.

Great ad for the time


  Gotta thank Dwight Fuhro for finding and preserving this great memorabilia from the every interesting history of our favorite hero, The Shadow.

The answers to "The Yellow Door" cover changes


Agent J, you are almost right.

  "Agent J reports: 1939, extra bullet hole, defective, odor, automatic barrel is longer, purple curtain on right is wider"

The only difference is that the curtain isn't wider, the woodwork has been moved away from the door.

Thanks for playing

The Lone Tiger


Ah, the famous cover with all of the agents gathered, Camelot-like, around a round table.  Since the table is bathed in a blue light I assume it is supposed to be in the Sanctum.  If that's the case then the figures should be blue as well.  However, since this scene never takes place I guess it's not that important.  Still...

No takers so...


Six (6) changes to this pretty cool cover.

1) The star moves

2) "Ganny Darrett"

3) A new broken section of glass

4) The door hinge is bigger

5) A new knuckle over his little finger

6) A new bullet hole

  A Walter B. Gibson penned novel from that great era.  Check it out.
