King of the Black Market


You're right, of course, Bill. I'll try to be a bit less stressful on your eyeballs with the next one.
As to the story, it was originally submitted under the title "Trail of Death" and written over a year earlier. "This story reflects America during World War II. The industrial might of the United States was in full swing, but profiteers were out to reap millions on the black market. Only The Shadow could bring the King of the Black Market to his knees. This is the exciting story that recounts that adventure." so says the review that can be found here.
As for the cover itself, it is so generic that if it didn't have The Shadow masthead on it one would be unable to identify it as an adventure of The Shadow. Such a sad time for the magazine as far as covers go.
