"Dead Man's Chest"

Yes!  The final piece to the puzzle!  The team is back to full strength with the addition of George Rozen doing the covers.  Coupled with Walter's writing The Shadow is going out in style.  Let's appreciate this cover for what it represents.  Not only is it very well done but it proves the old adage, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".  The turmoil that went on behind the scenes of this magazine, this icon of publishing, will probably never be entirely understood.  Sure times were changing, people's tastes were moving in a different direction.  Shaking up the editorial staff?  Bad idea.  Letting Gibson go over money... terrible decision.  Seriously, Patterson was probably paid more to have his name plastered on that heinous book that Gibson made over the lifetime of his association with the character that, let's face it, he created.  There are only three more issues left, so let's drink in this wonderful attempt at regaining the former glory of the hero we love.
