I've never liked this cover. It looks like a bad photoshop image. The seagull seems to be there just to sell the idea of being on the shore, as if the lighthouse didn't do just that. And a sable cloaked hero against the blue sky? Why this didn't take place at night with light beam cutting through the masthead is beyond me. Maybe Rozen just wanted to paint a seascape...
However, good news. John over at The Shadow in Review gives it one of his top ratings as an adventure tale, which is fitting since this is the exact middle of the run. The 163rd issue of 325. Of course we can also count the 60's paperback "Return of The Shadow" as the 326th, but it just doesn't fit in with my count of the pulps.
