I have started reading this paperback issue of The Shadow story, Kings of Crime. This issue was published by Pyramid Books in February 1976. It features nice cover artwork by Jim Steranko. It is the classic Shadow with an automatic in one hand and the ace of spades in the other. A skeleton holds 4 king cards, each with a different thug and weapon!
I also like that Pyramid includes the "From The Shadow's private annals as told to Maxwell Grant." This was a feature of the pulp magazines that I really liked and am glad they carried it over to their paperbacks.
The original pulp issue of Kings of Crime published on December 15, 1932.
Pyramid Books (which became Jove Books) published a total of 23 of The Shadow's stories.
