The Sealed Box

Very much an ordinary pulp cover (excluding the disembodied hand of The Shadow).  Agent T informs me that The Shadow was rumored to have been painted out of the illustration as it looked like he was participating in an assault on the young lady in the foreground.  I confess, I haven't read this one so I refer anyone who is in the same boat to this review to get an idea of this adventure.

Another piece of the puzzle

Should be a clinch... I mean, cinch to guess now.

Monday clew

Have fun, agents.

Kaluta

This recreation is soon to be up for sale at Heritage Auctions.  Would love to have this.

A nice little Graves Gladney cover that I appreciate for it's simplicity.  The Shadow appears to just be an observer as "The Masked Lady" is exacting revenge or murder or simply defending herself.  Who knows?  Well, the reader would if they picked up this issue.  Or you can get a better idea by reading this review.

Okay, you asked for it

so you got it.

What could it be?

A jumble of colors only a master detective could unravel or maybe an easy clew.  Only The Shadow knows...

The Television Murders

Sigh.  Check out this review if you are at all interested in what resides behind this... cover.  Bruce Elliott wrote this.  Just a warning.

Been out for a bit...

but now I'm back in the sanctum and ready to get back to the puzzles.  Give this a go and have a great weekend.

The Golden Quest

Submitted as "Death Below" (which I think I would've been more interested in as a reader) this 1935 novel was actually finished a little over 11 months prior to being published.  I'm anxious to read this one and compare it to one Gibson actually wrote in '35.  I wonder if the character changed much in those eleven months and if the reader noticed.  This review (as well as Agent T's assessment) says that this is a really top notch novel.  The cover may be a bit different than the usual illustration but it's a fun departure and may have let the rural fans feel that they may run into their favorite pulp hero while out at their favorite fishin' hole.

Let's try another cover clew

Don't miss the forest for the trees.

Malmordo

An ugly, terrible cover for our favorite magazine.  A sad addition to a very impressive line of pulp art.  This is the last story by Walter B. Gibson before Bruce Elliott took over for 15 unremarkable issues causing a two year black hole until Gibson returned for the final five stories beginning with Jade Dragon and ending with Whispering Eyes.  Good review, though.  I guess you can't judge...

More of a clew

Just for yew...

I spot a clew

Good luck, Agent T.

Tula Lotay does The Shadow

Nice and clean.  I really like these (except for the scarf... of course)

The Circle of Death

Cool cover and classic story.  What else would one expect from a 1934 adventure.  I have read this one and recommend it.  I agree with Agent T that it could have been rendered better but it really has a great vibe to it so I can't really complain.  If you haven't read this it has been reprinted and this review might convince you to seek out issue # 78 from Sanctum Productions.

More clew

A little more of a hint.
