The North Woods Mystery

Gotta love the slouch hat on our cover character.  Is it a cute little clew as to who is brandishing the rifle in the very nicely rendered canoe?  I look forward to reading "The Shadow in Canada" as John Olsen ranks it in the top ten novels.  If you want a preview of this thrilling tale of The Shadow, check out this review.

The Death Sleep

Excellent cover.  Very representative of The Shadow and how he is feared by the underworld.  The colors are rich and really make this art jump out at the reader.  That makes it even better that it was the introduction to this story.  I really enjoyed it as Tony was kind enough to reprint this tale.  I recommend that you can't go wrong with "The Death Sleep".

Finally, back to the clews

Sorry for the haphazard manner of posting these clews but some family issues have kind of taken more of my time than I thought.  That and I can't shake this illness.  Why has The Master forsaken me and not overnighted a bit of that elixir my way?  Maybe Doc has something sitting in his lab...

The Yellow Door

Well rendered cover (although I hate the little book just tacked onto the cover).  I agree, Agent T, that I don't like seeing my hero injured.  I know it happens but there are just too few chances to show The Master of Men in full color staring out at his agents/fans.  Show him nursing his wounds or being shot inside the magazine!!!  Anyhow, I like this cover well enough simply because George Rozen handled the paint so well.  I haven't read this one so I have to rely on this review to inform me.

Back to the clews

What I wouldn't give for some of The Shadow's famous purple elixir.  Been fighting this flu bug since I boarded the flight home last Thursday.  My way of apologizing for the erratic posting lately.

Death In The Crystal

At least the title of this tale is on the cover.  I can't even comment on this atrocity.  This review says the tale is a bit better than the cover.  Don't know if that is saying much.  Still, Walter B. is the author so it can't be horrendous.
