Another pretty sweet cover that just doesn't sell The Shadow for me. Even the masthead is lost in the upper left. And the story is just okay. I'm sure Gibson really got into it because it dealt with magic but I remember being disappointed when I read this in the Doubleday Crime Club edition, paired with "The Mask of Mephisto". It's all coming to an end and it really hurts to see how far this publication and, in turn, this character have fallen. Lucky for us there are so many really top tier adventures to return to and we have to say that America's tastes were changing. The inevitability of time...
