Nope. Not into this cover. Hey, John... is the story any better? Middle of the road, eh? Well, it is 1945. But, c'mon! This is The Shadow! Let's have some respect. The man in black deserves better than this, right? Sigh, we still have the Bruce Elliott run to endure. By comparison this is probably a masterpiece.
Do I complain too much lately? Yes, yes I do. It comes from being spoiled by all of the great tales of the decade before. The wonderful covers when the magazine had an actual logo and wasn't this little digest size. When the darkness of the pulp page was actually darker than the evil that had enveloped the world with the Axis attempt at world domination. Yep, the world changed and continues to do so. I just wish this great character hadn't had to change as well.
