All ?    JK, yeah I have tons more books but they still need to get sorted. I will list more tomorrow, likely a lot of GGA type stuff, and figure out if I'm going to end the thread there or go another day   Thanks for the takes, likes & looks as always

Just how prolific was McGinnis (and great too, obviously)?

One of the most prolific. Over a thousand covers I believe by his own estimate. He is still alive and fairly recently did covers for Hard Case Crime paperbacks and crime comic books as well. Pretty amazing!
