The Golden Doom


I have to say I like the technique used on this cover. The green guy on the table with the typical chemistry set in the foreground is cool. The nurse is very well done and the menacing thug is apparent through the use of the overhead lights leading the eye to his "shadowy" spot on the cover. My only complaint is THIS AIN'T NO SHADOW COVER!!!!!! Where the heck is our hero? What about this image says that this is The Shadow Magazine aside from the masthead?!
According to this review the story is as bad as the cover when it comes to the standards set by our favorite mystery man. This was Theodore Tinsley's last tale and apparently he was not up to the task. Thankfully we have so many great stories and covers fall back on.
