SHREDDED
This cover has been shredded and put back together. Some of the pieces have been reversed just to make it a bit more interesting. Can you figure out which issue this is?

Good Luck.

99th edition of "What's the Difference?"
Five, count 'em, 5 changes to this cover that declares that the villain's name literally spells
DEATH! Come on! How great is that?! Give it a go while being confined to your own secret sanctums wherever you may be.
Keep Calm and Carry On and we'll all get through this safe and healthy as long as we respect our neighbors and communities at large. As agents of The Shadow this is our chance to make a difference.

No guesses to the Master of Death
1: Master of Death became Master of Deaf
2: The transparent man is looking the opposite direction
3: An extra tooth appears in that Nosferatu mouth
4: The right arm sleeve has shortened
5: He has an extra rib
I'll keep amusing myself with these. Chime in if you want to take a swing at solving one or more of these.

Let's see if "Master of Death" can garner any guesses
There are just five (5) changes to this slightly spooky/goofy cover from the early years of our hero. Can you find all of them before the Master of Death succumbs to The Master of Darkness? Give it a go, agents. And stay safe.

97 passes with no guesses
I saw no guesses. I heard no guesses. I guess I'll speak the answers...
1: Publication is now Buplication
2: 1933 became 1931
3: Joss flipped the 'ss'
4: Green monkey's mouth is flipped upside down
5: Purple monkey's nose is flipped upside down
6: White monkey has lost a finger
Maybe Friday's puzzle will entice some tries.

Difference #5: The hairstyles of Evil Man 2 and 3 are swapped

There you have it... six little evil changes to this early cover by Rozen. Check in tomorrow for a new puzzle. Until then, stay safe out there.

Shadowed Millions comes into the light
"Agent J reports: Streep, missing square on top of building on the left, hats switched on villain on left and villain with red shirt, windows near Shadow's left thumb."
A few more changes to this one:
a) 1st has been modified
b) CENTS is now SENSE
c) The Shadow's pinky finger has been shortened.
Hope you had fun playing. We'll have a new modified cover on Friday.

Fingers of Death points to the answer
"Agent J reports: Match, The Shadow's collar, Darth, Shadow's right sleeve..."
Just missed the pinky finger of death. Kinda sneaky, I know. See y'all Friday for another issue of "What's the Difference". See ya then.

The Black Master comes clean
"Agent J reports: Defective, 1923, Shadow's hat brim, face in the crystal ball, the Shadow's cloak collar."
Five for five, Agent J. I don't know 'bout you, but I love the old covers where our hero has yet to really become the character we know and fear. This is the 8th published story and the first cover to really give us an idea of what is to come. For me, the 12th issue, "The Crime Cult", is the first time we truly see our hero as the visage we will associate with Rozen and the classic covers of The Shadow Magazine.

Atoms of Death... the answer
"Agent J reports: Three dots after 'Codes', mustache moves from man on
right to man on left, The Shadow's hat brim, gold band on cane. That's
all I can find. I believe this is supposed to be The Shadow and his 2
disguises - Lamont Cranston on the left and Henry Arnaud on the right"
Pretty good, Agent J. Just The Shadow's crimson collar is all you missed. Hope 2020 been good to you so far and thanks for playing.

...the answers!
1) Eyes are now upside down.
2) Back brim of The Shadow's slouch hat is bigger.
