The Pulp Art of Jack Rickard


by Jack Rickard

A graduate of Rochester Institute of Technology, Jack Rickard was most famous for his work in the advertising industry and his later work for MAD Magazine.  However, in between working on ads and working for MAD, Rickard also did the covers for several pulp magazines and paperback publishers.  Below is a small sampling of Jack Rickard’s pulp artwork.  I particularly like his cover for The Pagans.

  2. Hi:

    You’ve mixed up two Canadian artists with Jack Rickard. Harlequin 221 is by Aileen Tyrell Richardson who did 14 covers for Harlequin. The other 3 Canadian paperbacks are by Doug Rickard. Rickard did dozens of covers in late 1940s/early 1950s for a number of Canadian publishers signing either as “Rickard” or “DR”.
