"Gray Fist"

Not exactly a fist but definitely a 'hand' cover.  This almost feels like it could have been turned into a propaganda poster when WW2 broke out.  The grey of the Nazi officer's uniform and the Chinese figure could easily be mistaken or turned into a Japanese 'Emperor' image.  Anyhow, off on a tangent there.  I really appreciate the technical aspect to the painting of the hands and, as always, love seeing the girasol featured.  This is one that I've read many times simply because there weren't a lot of Shadow adventures for me to immerse myself in back in 1977.  So before I was even aware of this cover art I was reading the paperback that featured this cover art...


Jim Steranko at his action-packed best with this one.  I can't really pick a favorite because they both strike the right note with me.
