"Kings of Crime"


A "hand" cover!  Seems that there was about 10 percentage of the covers that featured the symbolism of The Shadow's hand for a long time.  19 of the first 189 used a variation on this motif.  Three others had a hand (of sorts) but they weren't The Shadow's hand.  This novel also marks the first appearance of The Shadow disguised as "Phineas Twambley."

 

Pyramid's cover...


...and H B Jove's cover design.  Both are by James Steranko.  I prefer the first of his.
