Artwork of the Day: Men (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.
Art Profile: The Many Adventures of Steve Holland
Who was Steve Holland?
He was one of the most familiar faces in the world of the pulps. An actor and a model, Holland’s rugged good looks inspired a countless number of magazine and paperback covers. Over the course of his career, Holland served as the model for everyone from tough private investigators to prehistoric warriors to futuristic adventurers to suburban husbands.
Check out just a few of the adventures of Steve Holland below:
