"Crime Under Cover"


 "Crime was in the making in the nation's capital! Could The Shadow stop plans for death and disaster before it was too late?" - The Shadow Wiki 

It seems that the best aspect to this issue is the cover and that's not saying a lot.  Oh, it's painted well enough, it's just that there is a static quality to it that feels staged, rather than designed.  And the cute gimmick of the upturned corner of the cover does little to create interest.  The Shadow in Review ranks this as one of Gibson's lesser efforts of any year.  Now, that doesn't mean one of you agents won't find it fascinating but I just put it out there as a caveat.
