Art Profile: Cowgirl Romances
Just in time for Valentine’s Day weekend, it’s Cowgirl Romances! Between 1950 and 1952, Fiction House published 12 issues of Cowgirl Romances and told stories about women in the old west who searched for love while shooting rustlers and other varmints.
I haven’t been able to discover who did the covers below but if any of our readers know, please let us know in the comments.
(The A.N.C. at the top of each cover stands for American News Company.)
(Update: After Gary identified issue 12 as being the work of Maurice Whitman, I did some research and discovered that all 12 of these covers were done by Whitman. Thanks, Gary!)

Art Profile: Kozy Books
Kozy Books was a New York-based publishing firm that operated during the late 50s and early 1960s. Using the tagline “Cozy up with Kozy Books,” they specialized in publishing “adult fiction.” A typical Kozy book cover featured an attractive and active woman in the foreground being watched by a passive man in the background. Unfortunately, Kozy Books never credited the artists who painted their covers so if you know who was responsible for the covers below, please let us know in the comments!
Now, cozy up with some Kozy covers!
