"The Veiled Prophet"

Now we're talkin', Graves!  This is a wonderful cover where it all comes together.  The Shadow looks great with a better color scheme (goodbye to the browns), a slouchier hat and an appropriately sized gat.  The villain looks surprised that he has been interrupted manipulating (what?), as indicated by the three men dangling from marionette strings.  Even the background contributes to the intrigue.  Yep, this is a really solid effort from Mr. Gladney.  Couple the interior art by Edd Cartier and a solid story from Gibson and I wish I had this issue in my collection.
