"... a seemingly invisible force."
This tale (Trail of Vengeance) is from 1942 and had been influenced by the radio program. Why do I bring this up? The "invisible force" description married up to an image of The Shadow seemed a little odd to me. He's obviously not invisible or even very well hidden in the darkness. That's not to take away from the really fun action and rendering involved in this illustration. Wish I had a larger version of this Paul Orban drawing to share with you but we'll have to settle for this.

Remember those who gave us their all
As you enjoy your cookouts, camp outs or just a day off please take a moment to remember the reason we can do this, the men and women who gave their lives for this great country.

Zemba by Steranko
I was going to make this a "What's the Difference" puzzle but then I just got a hankerin' to mess with it (just a bit). This has always been one of my favorite covers by J. S. but as I looked at it I just couldn't help but want some separation to really emphasize the figures.
Maybe I'm misguided here and this is from a scan of a paperback cover so I really don't know how the original painting looked but I like the focus being on the figures. But for those who don't like what I've done, here's the way it looked when it hit the bookstores.
I do like the richness of this one, just with the foreground didn't merge as much with the background.

Mox is the silhouette answer
I love the mood of this cover but overall it isn't one of Steranko's best and I still prefer the fun pulp cover by Rozen.
(Hey, you can't go wrong with a great ring cover!)
