"Kings of Crime" by Steranko

The eleventh novel reissued by Pyramid features another pulpy cover by Steranko.  The bony hand of Fate/Death offering a loaded hand of murder and mayhem.  The Shadow counters with his own trump card of death.  Death to those who would bring crime and chaos to his city!  I don't even mind the yellow background.  Wonderful cover! 



 The reissue (of the reissue) from H B Jove is nowhere near as compelling or interesting.  Too much information going on in this one.  I wonder if J S had less of a free hand and was being directed more.  This just looks like a committee decided on this layout.
