The Man From Scotland Yard

I really love this cover and the story was great fun as well.  The Shadow isn't in the path of a bullet, rather he and the antagonist are both in the process of drawing a bead on each other.  Of course, the bad guy has a couple of goons to help.  This just seems to be a true moment from the story and one we can easily imagine The Shadow being a part of.  Well rendered and composed.  Yeah, this is one I would love to have in my collection.

Alan Davis does The Shadow

I've always been a fan of Davis' but had never wondered how he would handle our hero.  Now I know.

John Beatty's take on the Dark Eagle

I really like the composition of this piece, maybe not the actual rendition of The Shadow though.

Up for auction


I find it interesting that the image has been flipped so that the ring is now on the left hand.  Truly wish I could afford this piece, but, alas, I'm not Lamont Cranston wealthy.  This is currently being sold through Heritage Auctions of Dallas.

You got it, Agent T

The Seven Drops of Blood it is.  I understand why you don't like the cover as much as you might simply because of the lack of The Shadow but I like it because of, well, the RING!!!!!  That makes it much more appealing than other Shadow-less covers.  I haven't read this one, either.  I must, therefore, rely on The Shadow in Review with this review.
I'll be back on Monday.
