The 50th Anniversary Edition of "Gangland's Doom" was released a month or so ago. I did the cover art for the hardbound edition and the interior art for both versions as well as a color tweak of the interior art for the back covers. I've been a fan of The Shadow since I discovered a copy of "The Living Shadow" in a used book shop back in the early 70s. I became aware of "Gangland's Doom" by Frank Eisgruber, Jr. in the 80s, around the time Chaykin did the whole revival and update of The Shadow. Never did I think that I could be involved in such an historic project as this.
Big shout out to everyone involved from The Shadowed Circle. Steve Donoso, editor and publisher; Tim King, consulting editor and fulfillment; Steve Novak, graphic design and layout; John Sies, art direction; Sam Oatley, online engagement; Marcin Nowacki, trade paperback cover artist.
So, allow me to smile and have a little pride in this wonderful addition to the history of The Shadow. Click here to watch a very complimentary review of this book and my art. (the gushing praise starts at 2:39)
