I run into the same frustration often on my comics blogs. Nothing pains me more than to leave great work uncredited. I always feel that I am cheating the artist somehow, or that - if I just look hard enough - I can find the artist. Even when I go with the "artist is uncredited" thing, I always feel like I've given poor service. <br /><br />Great post and great, great book covers. -- MykalMykal Bantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148489896145024134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-47415569527482038762009-10-24T00:10:44.508-04:002009-10-24T00:10:44.508-04:00Although Mcginnis is more well known and respected...Although Mcginnis is more well known and respected, I really like Bayre's stuff. Many of his have a nice balance of realism and impressionistic technique. He did an incredible number of covers. There was a style in the 50's and 60's for the pulps that many illustrators used -- sort of a deliberate unfinished quality. Pretty interesing. Nice. <br />PS. Have you posted much re Robert Jonas? He's an unsung one of a kind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-29701458911229112062009-10-23T23:58:33.728-04:002009-10-23T23:58:33.728-04:00"The weed of crime bears bitter fruit -- crim..."The weed of crime bears bitter fruit -- crime does not pay!"<br /><br />Just had to throw that in there; lovin' that Shadow pic!artistaggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12968884675911242304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-143841310762193832009-10-23T14:42:01.190-04:002009-10-23T14:42:01.190-04:00Praise for the little Things

What else to say?<br /><br />Just wanted to add that this "Christ and Judas" cover, using a "technique borrowed from the masters" "painted in gouache, loved by the editors", reminds me of Georges Rouault, considered to belong to the hall of fame of Fine Artists.Richnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-47465241462941078392009-10-23T10:17:52.795-04:002009-10-23T10:17:52.795-04:00Love the white hair short hair cuts of the 60'...Love the white hair short hair cuts of the 60's.

Even that glowing green color on the title works well, against all odds.
