This book was originally published in 1954 and, like yesterday’s artwork of the day, it was written by Gardner Fox. According to the book’s back cover, it’s about an English woman and Irish man who “ruled” the Spanish main. Everyone loves a good pirate story.
This cover was done, and signed, by Barye Phillips, who this site has featured many times in the past and who will undoubtedly be featured many times in the future.

Master Detective was one of the many true crime magazines that was published during the pulp era. What sets Master Detective apart is that it continued to be published long after the pulp era ended. The first issue came out in September of 1929 and Master Detective continued to be published all the way through September of 1995! That’s nearly 70 years of sex and murder!
That’s also nearly 70 years of memorable and sordid covers. Below are just a few examples. When known, the artist has been credited.
