"Brothers of Doom"

 "Reach, monkeys! I'm taking over! Vincent is with me. This heater's hot. Who wants the first pill?" - Cliff Marsland


This cover always reminds me of the pilot episode "The Cage" from Star Trek in which Captain Pike is tortured by the Talosians into thinking that he is caught in boiling liquid.  This is a great cover.  Is it a good story?  Well, The Shadow Wiki sums it up this way:

'Through air reddened with the flaming glow of mighty mills of steel sounds the strident scream of The Shadow's taunting laugh, as he meets the challenge of the evil four who had made their terrible compact as Brothers of Doom.'

John over at The Shadow in Review says that this story is a little more over the top than the usual adventures. Sounds good to me.
