City of Crime

No guess?  It's just as well since I think I may have run this one before.  I hear a lot of people love this cover and consider it a classic but I've just never been a fan of covers that show The Shadow in broad daylight.  If the background had been in a deep blue tone to at least make it seem that he was cloaked in black to blend into the night I'd have liked it more.  Since Batman hadn't premiered yet I wouldn't have felt that this was playing off of his popularity.  I guess the reverse is true, isn't it.  Maybe we could get Christopher Nolan interested in doing a trilogy of our beloved hero.  Check out this review if you haven't read the story or even if you have, since it's fun to hear another fan's take on the tales.
As an aside, I think I prefer the working title of "Killer's Vengeance".  Probably would have had a bit more of an exciting, Shadow-ish cover.
