Issue Notes

A magnified view of the cover area containing the issue number shows that this number is an overprint. The color plates contain "No 6?". The last digit is partly obscured, but is believed to be a number four which is consistent with the reprinting apparently contained in issues #108 to this point.

Indexer Notes

The art in this issue is totally unlike any previously seen by the indexer in The Shadow (2nd series). Every story page contains eight short and wide panels. Some appear to have been altered. It is the indexer's opinion that this story may have first appeared in first series of The Shadow which was done in landscape format. In support of this is that Inspector Drummond is apparently a regular supporting character. In issue #109 he is a Chief Inspector. This story may have previously been reprinted in issue #64.
