The Wealth Seeker: A comparison






Steranko vs. Rozen!  Excitement vs. Mystery!  Never happened vs. It could have happened!


The scene depicted on the Jove paperback by Steranko never occurred.  I'm pretty sure that a woman was never mentioned, let alone featured, let alone being threatened by a masked gunman who had just returned from a night at the opera.  The Rozen cover is a bit more in keeping with The Shadow's role of keeping hidden from prying eyes.

Do you have a preference?  I know I do.  Sorry Mr. Steranko, I have to give the win to Mr. Rozen.  As usual I would simply Let George Do It when it comes to The Shadow covers.
