"Washington Crime"


 "Like a vigilant eagle soaring in the sun, The Shadow casts his pall of darkness over the nation's capital - to swoop down on birds of prey and with talon-like hands snatch from them the papers of state they so eagerly seek!"

A very dramatic summary from The Shadow Wiki that seems to describe this cover as well.  This is a great illustration that features a full figure representation of The Shadow.  We don't often get those.  The breaking glass just adds to the action of this scene.  I also love the soft black that Rozen employed which really gives the feel of dimension to our hero.  This is a painting I'd love to have on my wall.
