The guy who followed Ward as cover artist is Joe Szokoli who copied Wards style but used an airbrush to do his, while Ward used oils. I think I blogged about Joe last year, interesting fellow.

Anybody know?<br /><br />John Hocking<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-21979991532688284882013-07-06T09:01:21.511-05:002013-07-06T09:01:21.511-05:00I always liked Donovan's Doc Savage stories.

They were more violent also with more images of cowboy cretins threatening the girls.Walker Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089880902426182100noreply@blogger.com
