Again, Bill, you are correct. From May of 1943, a cover I don't even know how to address. Nothing "Shadow-ish" about it. Could be an Ellery Queen digest if not for the masthead. And what misguided art director thought that losing the iconic logo was a good idea? Change for change sake is rarely a good thing. And we all know what the changes to our favorite character brought about. For those interested in a review of this story, go here.

I agree: very blah cover. I assume that one of the hawk-nosed men is The Shadow, but... New logo was definitely a mistake. Yet the magazine survived another 6 years, so maybe the changes helped "keep it fresh" in peoples' minds? On not...
