But where was she hiding the gun?

Artwork of the Day: Executive Wife (by Tom Miller)
This cover is from 1964 and it’s one of my favorites. Everything about this is spot-on perfect, from the cigarette in the man’s hand to the suit on the other man, who I assume is the executive. That she’s half-undressed but still wearing high heels is the definitive 1964 touch.
This cover was done by Tom Miller.
Artwork of the Day: The Love Trap (by Ann Cantor)
Two beautiful women and a man? Of course, it couldn’t have been two handsome men and a woman.
This novel was published in 1949. The cover was done by Ann Cantor, one of the few women to have regularly done paperback covers during the pulp era.
Artwork of the Day: The Girl In The Punchbowl (artist unknown)
How come real parties are never this much fun?
This cover is from 1964. Unfortunately, the artist is unknown.
Artwork of the Day: Run Tough Run Hard (by Raymond Johnson)
Yesterday, I said we’d probably see more artwork from Raymond Johnson and, right on schedule, today’s artwork is from Raymond Johnson!
This book was originally published in 1964. That’s a nice motorcycle, I wonder if whoever wins the fight gets to keep it. I also like her shoes. I don’t like the motorcycle helmet that’s being worn by the man who has back to us. It looks like it might be too big for his head. Hopefully, it will provide some padding when he gets punched because the other man looks like he knows what he’s doing.
Artwork of the Day: The Go Girls (by Raymond Johnson)
This is from 1963. Have you been to Kicksville? It sounds like a fun place where you can laugh, dance, undress, and serve coffee. Who knows where Kicksville is even located.
This cover was done by Raymond Johnson, who has been featured on this site in the past and who will undoubtedly be featured many more time in the future.
Artwork of the Day: Hill Man (by Julian Paul)
This is from 1954 and it looks like it’s the same old story about the farmer who falls in love with the city girl. The farmer exudes raw, animal sexuality with his bare-chested field plowing but that shack of a house has got to go!
This cover was done by Julian Paul. He even signed it, which is something that far too cover artists used to do. Of course, back in 1954, it’s probable no one realized that covers like this would some day become prized by collectors.
Artwork of the Day: Amazing Stories (by Harold McCauley)
This is another amazing cover from Amazing Stories, this time from 1943 and done by Harold W. McCauley.
Artwork of the Day: Amazing Stories (by Ed Valigursky)
This amazing cover for amazing stories is from 1957 and it was done by the amazing Ed Valigursky. No one brought science fiction to life like Ed Valigursky.
Artwork of the Day: G-Men Detective (by Rudolph Belarski)
This is from 1943. I bet there’s an interesting story behind that tattoo!
This cover was done by Rudolph Belarski, who has been featured frequently on this site in the past and who will be featured frequently in the future.
