The Crimson Phoenix

This was originally titled "The Green Phoenix" and it turns out that the villain is known simply as "the Phoenix". According to the review this story touches on many very interesting things. Tinsley has the Shadow changing his countenance simply by using his facial muscles rather than the gauze like structure. This may be where the '94 film got the idea. He also presaged the bombing of Pearl Harbor by about 4 years. Interesting. Lots of fun stuff in this one. I can't wait to read it myself.

  1. Never cared much for this cover...The girl is pretty but gratuitous, the Phoenix design not particularly evocative, The Shadow's shadow obligatory, under the circumstances. "38 wasn't my favorite Rozen year, 'though he had a few nice ones.
