by George Gross
This is from 1949. Back then, you could buy an exciting paperback novel for only twenty-five cents! The cover was done by George Gross, who has been featured many times on site in the past and who will undoubtedly be featured many times in the future.
This is from 1941. The artist is unknown but I’m impressed by anyone who can balance both a camera and gun at the same time.
by Bill Edwards
This is from 1965 and, like so many “adult” books of the time, the cover blurb is awfully judgmental. Franie knew she was doing wrong but someone published a book about it and then someone else decided to read it so is anyone in a position to judge? This cover was done by Bill Edwards, who has a definite skill when it came to capturing the sordidness of small town life.
by Leo Morey
This is from 1930 and, as you can tell from the signature at the bottom of the picture, this cover was done by Leo Morey! I like this cover and the way it mixes the plane, the ocean liner, and the tentacled-creatures. Three ways to travel, two human and one alien. Are the aliens abducting the plane or are they saving the pilot and maybe the ship? We may never know.
by Will Hulsey
Get him!
This is from 1961 and there’s no way those two men are escaping from “the women-ridden island of last resort.”
This is from 1948. That would probably make me scream and faint too so I’m not going to pass any judgments. This cover was done by Norman Saunders.
by Verne Tossey
“Texans don’t scare?”
No, we don’t!
This is from 1959. The cover is by Verne Tossey.
This is from 1926, from the prolific imagination of Enoch Bolles. “Figure It Out” has a double meaning, I suspect.
Happy Father’s Day! This is from 1961.
by Harold W. McCauley
This is from 1954. The cover is by Harold W. McCauley. If I ever saw a hang that big coming at me, I would also probably run and scream.
