He had a knack for dynamic staging and lighting, his heroes were dependably square-jawed, his villains low-browed brutes and his ladies wide-eyed, almost doll-like ‘Girls Next Door’. His vivid palette and almost cartoonish style made even intense Weird Menace type situations on the covers of DETECTIVE YARNS, DOUBLE-ACTION DETECTIVE, MYSTERY NOVELS, etc somehow appealing — exciting but not depressing. <br /><br />b.t.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-14684775034862284512022-09-25T09:06:52.280-05:002022-09-25T09:06:52.280-05:00Cover artist is: William F.
