I’m torn as to which cover I like best of The Shadow series, but this one is pretty brilliant. The Skull with the bullet hole in it, the rich detailing, the engravings in the throne, the widows peak, the noose, and the red flowing cape are all flawless.
This Jim Steranko piece is the book cover of Shadow: Kings of Crime and it is titled Throne of Fear.
Acrylic on masonite drawn in 1978.

Not all heroes wear tights!
Finally a blog for all of our favorite fedora wearing crime fighters!
The Fedora is a 20 something year-old Criminal Justice major and part time detective. He has a passion for fedora clad crime fighters and is trying his hand at investigative reporting. Currently, he's finishing up his crime-fighting education and hopes by next year to be full swing into detective or police work. He met Cashlin Snow when he was visiting friends in Zoe Dominique. Actually, he saved her from a messy situation!
Cashlin Snow is a 16 year-old crime fighter hailing from Zoe Dominique (The Winter City) and admin of The Libertas League. She met The Fedora by happenstance there and he mentored her on crime fighting for a little while. She submits most of the photos of The Spirit and The Green Hornet, along with opinion articles. She's sassy, opinionated, a bit snobby, and not afraid to reblog people's posts about crime fighters she respects.
