Happy Veteran's Day

We wouldn't have the freedom to indulge in the freedoms we take for granted without the men and women of the armed forces who fought and continue to fight to preserve our rights.  Thank a vet this Veteran's Day (and any time you get a chance).

The answer is...

...The Green Box. 
  Love this cover.  The limited color palette, the cool hues and the shadows striping The Shadow coupled with the simplicity of the composition and the great rendering by George Rozen makes this cover an instant classic.  The story itself is early, #50 from 1934.  It has been reprinted by Anthony Tollin and I recommend you find it and read it if you haven't done so already. 

What are the differences between these covers?

Give it a try and then maybe it won't be only The Shadow who knows.  (Well, technically I know and I'm not The Shadow... or am I? heh heh heh)

Tuesday is Clewsday

This is a great, classic cover.  Good luck solving this.  You may have to think outside the box.

Who's driving?

I'm hoping that Moe is at the wheel while The Shadow takes care of this vile hooded villain!  Great Cartier illustration.

The Shadow / Batman Volume 1 #2

This issue gives us a lot more of  "The Silent Seven" although it ain't like the original.  Shiwan Khan & Ra's Al Ghul are the two masterminds.  Khan is young and Ra's is, well, Ra's.  Sigh...  Can't these guys do any better for the fans?  Oh well, I'll follow the story to the, I'm sure, bitter end.  Here are the a few covers.  At the end is one of my all time favorite covers for The Shadow.  Gotta be some redeeming factors to this tale.  Still, it's better than that disaster that is unfolding with The Shadow's own comic. 

Forgot to tell y'all...

I'm taking a couple of days off so I won't be posting till Monday.  Hope everyone had a great Halloween and, who can forget, the ensuing All Saints Day.
