WOW! Great finish on this one. When i acquired my copy i almost passed on it as it isn't a 'solo' girliy style cover. The guy sort of 'crowded' the portrait in my mind, and the girl isn't out there 'Va va voom".

But it being a black cover, and a standout for the the very reasons that almost detracted me from buying it, i did buy it. Glad i did :bigsmile:

I was just thinking that some of these look like early Peter Driben work (I'm sure most of you already know his work better than I do).  Though his work would later become exceptionally refined, earlier in his career, he seems to have been a very good mimic for other artists in terms of style.  Here are a couple of his covers (not mine, taken from internet).

Didn't know this one was Boles, but i saw it listed as such on a site showcasing some of Bolles' paintings and cover images. Spine area has some issues, but can't be too picky

This one is actually by Earle Bergey, rather than Bolles.  I owned the original painting for a few years, until I let it go in a trade.
