I haven’t been able to find much information on illustrator John Hilkert but I like his work. Below are some pulp illustrations that he did in the 1940s for magazines like 10 Detective Aces, Surefire Detective, and 10 Story Detective.

Through the Shattered Lens 
To Whom it may concern,
I met John Hilkert in the 1980’s , he owned a Comic book store in La Puente CA. I purchased a few of his Pulp Cover paintings and Had a Friend that worked for San Gabriel Valley Tribune do a story about him, He was a very interesting Person, during the war he would get down on the ground and find land mines , He later worked on the Bart Train system in San Fransisco, He owned the Book store with his wife Pauline, By the time I met him he’s already had a stroke but could still communicate through his wife, He was a great artist and a good Dude, All the best, Jimmy B.
