The Shadow's Shadow could not hide the differences from this agent
"Agent J reports: upside down pyramid, #, The Shadow's eyes, button on Shadow's left sleeve, The Shadow's automatic barrel, The Shadow's right shirtsleeve!"
Well done, Agent J! I must try harder to get the next one past your "Hawk"eyes!

Ding ding ding (or would it be ding dong ding?)
"Agent J reports: Sents, upsidedown M in Mar, Boom, Code NRA, clapper on green bell on left."
You are 100% correct, Agent J. Well done. If this cover intrigues anyone (and it should) then check out this review to push you into reading this adventure of The Shadow.
I didn't think 'bout it until now but this kind of has a Quasimodo feel to it. Entirely unintended with regards to the tragedy at Notre Dame.

The Living Shadow at 88
Just a few of the publications of the adventure that started it all. After all these years, "The Living Shadow" is a very apt title.

Devil's Passage
Not sure how this would be received in the current PC climate. Oh, well, whatever your feelings are it exists and The Shadow is dealing some justice. I really like the "Your Money's Worth" circling the 10. Fun.

Bands...er... Hands in the Dark
So close, Agent J...
"Agent J reports: Defective, Mazagine, Bands, the first character of the cryptic message - that's all I can find."
May is now Way. On another note, how do you feel about this cover. I've always loved the coded message but not the revealing of The Shadow's mouth. Oh, and the ring is on the wrong finger! Sacrilege!

Shadowed Millions
Spot on, Agent J. This image formed my concept of The Shadow for quite some time and I still love it.

Wish I had gotten one of these in the mail
How cool would this have been back in the day (or even today) to receive a note on this letterhead?! Have to admit, though... never liked the "official" signature of The Shadow. Oh well, can't have it all.

April's calendar
Well, duh. What else would I use for April. 88 years ago this month The Shadow A Detective Magazine made its debut with "The Living Shadow". And a legend was born.

The Yellow Band snapped
"Agent J reports: 1973, Land, right thumb on briefcase, doorway taller - that's all I can find!"
Very close, missed it by a cuff...
