This is from 1953. The dirt farm never looked so good!

Artwork of the Day: Men (by James Elliott Bama)
by James Elliott Bama
Hey, guys, there are other people in the water. Just look behind you for a second. The blonde has been saved but I don’t think things are going to go as well for the two other people in the water.
This cover is from 1959. The magazine is called Men, which I think is funny. (Real men save the blonde and leave everyone else to drown.) The cover was done by James Elliott Bama.
Artwork of the Day: Over Night (by Howell Dodd)
This edition of this book was originally published in 1960, with a Howell Dodd cover. I prefer the original title, Harlot In Her Heart.
Artwork of the Day: Payment in Sin (Artist Unknown)
artist unknown
This cover is from 1961. Payment in Sin is one of those paperbacks that would be republished with several different covers over the course of the 60s. At last count, I had found five other covers for Payment in Sin but I believe this is the first one. The artist is unknown.
Artwork of the Day: Movie Story Magazine (Artist Unknown)
Artist Unknown
This is from May of 1937. Unfortunately, the identity of the artist who panted Jean Harlow and Robert Taylor is not known. I wonder what the Shirley Temple birthday party prize was.
Artwork of the Day: Make Sure I Win (by Robert Maguire)
by Robert Maguire
There are several editions of this paperback, because I guess “those college beauty contests” never ceased to be shocking. The cover above is from the 1964 edition and was done by Robert Maguire.
Artwork of the Day: Law and Order, Unlimited (Artist Unknown)
From 1954 comes this poignant cover. Unfortunately, the artist is unknown.
Artwork of the Day: South Sea Stories (by James B. Settles)
This is from 1939. I don’t care how violent it may be or how many famous pirates might be hanging around, the beach sounds pretty nice right now.
Artwork of the Day: Movie Humor (by George Quintana)
by George Quintana
This George Quintana cover is from 1935. I’m sharing it today because today is also the start of the Winter Olympics. USA! USA! USA!
Artwork of the Day: Snowslide (by Griffith Foxley)
This is from 1950 and I really hope that it’s not a story about what’s about to happen down here over the next few days. It’s supposed to snow today. Last year, it snowed at this time and there were people who had to go days without power. That was not a fun snowslide.
This cover was done by Griffith Foxley.
