I'm wondering if anyone wants me to run the latest Chaykin series to bookend "Blood & Judgment". Any suggestions? In the meantime here is an image I ran across this morning. I'll give credit to the artist when I find out who it is.

The White Skulls
An adequate cover, though not at all in the realm of The Shadow. At least not the classic covers. And there is no indication of our hero at all, either. Done well enough but still... Anyhow, I haven't read this one and probably won't for a very long time as it is a digest tale and very near the end of the run. According to this review it seems the story is good enough but may have been much longer and had to be edited down to fit the 35,000 word count of the digest format. A shame, indeed.

The Ghost Makers
Well, it seems that my record keeping is a bit spotty. As this link will attest, I recently posted this same cover as part of the game. Thanks to Agent T for pointing this out. At least it is a better version of the cover than the one I posted. Still not great but better contrast. I'll try to be better going forward.

"Blood & Judgment" part 4 page 28
And so concludes a terrific addition to the history of The Shadow. I've grown to like this story much more as time goes on. It laid the foundation for changing he Lamont Cranston / Kent Allard / Shadow history that seems to have taken hold for following stories.

I love stuff like this
Back in the day when print ruled and these cool items were prevalent. I would've cut this out every time I found one.
