Getting on track with what came out the week of January 1st 1940 - 1948

1940_Death's Premium

1941_Forgotten Gold

1942_Alibi Trail

1943_The Museum Murders

1944_The Crystal Skull

1945_Guardian of Death

1946_The Banshee Murders

1947_Death Stalks the U.N.

 
1948_Ten Glass Eyes

I count only one "classic" cover here.  Of course, I'm biased toward "hand" covers so "Death's Premium" is the only one I elevate to that status.  "Forgotten Gold" and "Alibi Trail" fall into the category of good covers with the traditional concept of The Shadow either being menaced or menacing the bad guys.  The rest make me sad with only 1943's "The Museum Murders" even indicating that this is an adventure of The Shadow.  Progress isn't always a positive thing...
