Not The Shadow...
...but another of my all time favorite characters. Plus this film came out two years after the 1994 "The Shadow" film and one that I thought was quite well done. It certainly can't go toe to toe with the Marvel films or DC movies but it captured, for me, the charm and even sensibility of the time. This would have been a great poster is they had gone ahead with it. Drew Struzan is the artist.

Good eye, Agent J
This simple cover made it hard to come up with too much to change. You got them all, sir.
Gradient background
A shadow cast over The Shadow's eyes
Blofeld's cat seems to be wearing contacts
The crystal ball seems to have a less than rosy future to tell
"A Complete Novel" is now "The Final Novel"
Thanks for playing.
