"They were peaceable; they gave no argument. When we questioned them, all they would say was "Ying Ko" -- and they kept repeating it. Sounded like a name; but there's nobody in Chinatown with that moniker. It's not a place, either -- I've looked through atlases trying to find it. "Ying Ko" -- that's all they would say."
Pretty cool cover for a somewhat seminal tale. The above quote is from Joe Cardona and it references Ying Ko, the name that the oriental culture knows The Shadow by. Why is this important? Well, this is the first tale to bring this information to light.
Even John Olsen finds this an irresistible adventure. "This is a wonderfully exciting Chinatown adventure of The Shadow. And the concept of the Fate Joss is quite unique. An interesting concept of fate, destiny and self-determination. This is one of those key issues in the magazine's run which everyone should read. Plus, it's just good, exciting fun!"
