    Easy money and probably a preference for doing covers as opposed to the grind of multi-panel story telling.

    I only recall a couple interiors, including all of Don Juan.

    He also did a substantial number of pulp interior illustrations, but you're right, covers paid quite a bit more and accepting deadlines for fully illustrated stories would've been challenging and probably not the best use of his time given the demands placed on it. His pulp and ...after comics... digest covers were also in high demand, not to mention book and magazine covers, advertising, etc. He was rarely short of work throughout his career as an illustrator, including commissions.
