The Shadow #23   The Death Giver  Jove Books V4282     April 1978     $50  SOLD to goldust40

Killer Steranko GGA cover. Near perfect copy of the last of the Jove Shadow books and probably the toughest. I'm convinced the editors had him paint Good Girls into these later numbers to boost sales.

VF/NM +  Unread and nearly perfect in every way. Just don't see them like these.
