"The Python"

" You know, Burke, I've got an idea why this crook calls himself The Python. That's a big snake, a python, that can strangle anything up to the size of a tiger. Say, he's got crust, this fellow, calling himself The Python!"

--Joe Cardona

A nice pulpy cover with The Shadow apparently pummeling the villain.  What strange contraption is in the background, glowing with an unearthly blue light?  Read it and find out.  There is a bit of trivia in this as it seems this is the last time the 'horror face' is referenced.

"...his features were no longer a close resemblance of Lamont Cranston's. He was still disguised; but only in a fashion. A grotesque hollowness had come upon his hawklike countenance."

I have always been fascinated with the 'horror face' concept and would love to see it make it on screen whenever another movie gets made.
