by Robert Maguire

This book came out in 1954 and the cover is simply brilliant.  From the close-up of the bullets being loaded into the gun to worried expression of the woman in the background, this is an evocative, tough, and unforgettable cover.  Not surprisingly, it was done by the legendary Robert Maguire.  We’ve shared many Maguire covers in the past and we’ll undoubtedly share many more in the future.
