How things change
As lurid as the pulp covers were I doubt that Street & Smith would have run a cover like this
to head the story "The Shadow Unmasks" instead of the classic Rozen painting.
I really like the Alex Ross piece as it portrays (a bit too graphically) what Gibson hinted at in the early novels. A man without a face! Maybe it would have looked something like this...
Still, the original is the one I prefer.

Huge smokewagons!
Kaluta goodness! I love how the shells are being ejected trailing smoke. The ink treatment is really sweet, as well.

Brett Booth (no relation) does The Shadow
Not my favorite version, too McFarlane for my liking. But hey, anything that keeps our hero relevant...

As a mongoose whips a cobra...
I've always been a sucker for these bits of promotion. Made me feel like I was getting a peek inside the inner circle.
