Wishing everyone a Hopeful and Happy New Year

It's hard not to get political as 2017 approaches so I will just say "Keep Calm & Carry On".

THADE!

The comics idea of what Thade looks like.  I'm not sure this is what I think of as I read "The Death Giver" but it is kinda cool.

Rare ad

Ran across this on one of my Facebook sites.  Would love to have this just because.

What I'm reading now

The Death Giver!  I have read this a couple of times but am looking forward to making my way through this during the odd week between Christmas and New Years.  Love the cool cover (it's got a ring!) and know that back in the day this would have made fans drool over the prospect of a terrific tale to keep them entertained.

This is the edition I was introduced to.  Great cover as well, just not pulpy goodness like the original.

Have a very Merry Christmas, agents

Has The Shadow incurred the wrath of St. Nick?  Can he get back on the "Nice" list?  Only Santa Knows.

Another of my favorite covers

Caught in a web of crime, will the Dark Eagle make the evildoers pay for their insolence?!  Only The Shadow knows... and anyone who read this tale.  Great image and very well executed.  Also a very fun story.  Read it a few times over the years.  This is the version that I was introduced to.

A quick little sketch

Just had the need to do a Shadow drawing.  Headed off as a thank you gift.
