The Sexy Covers of Charles Copeland

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

I first profiled Charles Copeland back in 2015.  Unfortunately, there wasn’t much information available about him.  Considering that he was apparently a very prolific cover artist and that many of his covers are considered to be pulp classics, it’s sad and surprising that there’s not much biographical information about him online.  Copeland’s covers frequently featured women who may have been sexy and frequently undressed but who were also strong and clearly in charge of every situation in which they found themselves.

Five years later and there’s still not much infomation out there in Copeland but I have found some more of his work.  So, here’s even more from Charles Copeland!

Here Are More Covers From Hard Case Crime!

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

Hard Case Crime publishes novels about crime.  Some of them are reprints of classics from pulp era.  Others are new works by authors paying homage to hard-boiled detective and crime stories of the 50s and 60s.  The retro covers also pay homage to the pulp era.  Some of the best cover artists around — from Robert McGinnis to Glenn Orbik to Chuck Pyle and many others — have done covers for Hard Case Crime and I absolutely love them.  There are many people who buy these books strictly for the covers.  I’m one of them.

I’ve shared several Hard Case Crime covers on this site.  Here are a few of the more recent covers to come out of Hard Case Crime:
