I was checking out a bunch of covers for the Street & Smith pulp The Shadow and I was struck how many covers featured only the hands of the mysterious protagonist. I knew there were some, but I didn't know it was a regular thing. The signature girasol ring is prominently featured in all of the covers. I suppose many if not most of these are by regular cover artist George Rozen, but I cannot confirm that.
I don't understand why the rest of the body isn't shown. In the puzzle piece one for instance it looks ridiculous because his body is missing.
