James Bama, MESSALINA - "A scorching, magnificent novel of Imperial Rome" - The Dell paperback release of this tale by Jack Oleck.

  Harry Barton, THE FIRES OF YOUTH - "A novel of juvenile waywardness" - The Ace paperback release of this story by Edward De Roo.

  Harry Barton, THE LADY IS A LUSH - "Fresh from alcoholic frenzies in the arms of other men, she would come to her husband's bed!...  He knew it ... yet found her irresistible!  Where does the coctail hour lead wives like Amy--who can't stop with one drink ?" - The Beacon Books paperback release of this story by Orrie Hitt.  At auction, Heritage wanted to attribute this to Barton

  Harry Barton, THE BIG FIX - "He'd won a hundred grand--and a sure bullet if he claimed it" - The Ace paperback release of this thriller by 'Mel Colton' (Hal Braham).  It was 'doubled', back-to-back, with Kate Clugston's Twist The Knife Slowly.  Note that when Phantom Books later released the same tale, they had someone else copy Barton's painting and also put some clothes on the girl. ALSO NOTE THAT I'VE SINCE SEEN THIS ART CREDITED TO NORMAN SAUNDERS BY THOSE WITH EQUAL CREDIBILITY.

  Harry Barton, THE AFFAIR - "He was a brash young rebel.  She was his teacher.  Boldly they defied convention ... The story of a shattering affair between a sex-driven woman and a teen-age boy !" - Alex Carter's story released in paperback by Softcover Library (what the Beacon Books imprint became).

  Harry Barton, [unknown title] - This art came to auction, but with no identification of the use it was put to.  Just seems to be meant for a paperback cover with empty space for logos & typography (no problem flipping the art, if that was needed too...).

  Harry Barton, BEYOND ALL DESIRE - "She was his for the taking but another man owned her" - The Monarch Books paperback release of this story by Tom Phillips.

  Harry Barton, A FLAME TOO HOT - "She was easy to take, easy to make but too hot to hold !" - The Monarch Books paperback release of this story by Karl Kramer.  The book cover was featured in the artbook, The Look Of Love.

  Harry Barton, GOLDEN TRAMP - "She'd try anything once - or anybody ! / Gay was a peculiar girl . . . so bewitchingly beautiful, yet she would give herself to men, to women, even to complete strangers- Why?  What drove her to this endless orgy of the flesh ?" - Beacon's paperback release of Dooma Winston's novel.

  Earle Bergey, STARTLING STORIES 1951-MAY, (STARTLING STORIES 1951-May) - "The Seed From Space--a novel of Earth's strangest invasion by Fletcher Pratt // Letters Of Fire--a fantasy of Hollywood gone haywire by Matt Lee" - This image was re-purposed to be the artbook cover of THE ART OF THE PULPS and the painting was featured in SAVAGE ART.

  Leandro Biffi, GOLDRAKE #32 - Italian comic published by Ediperiodici.

  Rudolph Belarski, PASSION IS A WOMAN - "Men used her ... and then came back for more !" - The Venus Books paperback release of this story by 'Kate Nickerson' (Lulla Rosenfeld).  The art re-appears on a re-release of the same book, now re-titled HOLLYWOOD STARLET ("The confidential story of a girl with a past") with the pseudonym also changed, now 'Richard Hall'.

  Jim Bentley, THE BIG FAKE - "He lived another man's life...loved another man's woman !" - The Pyramid Books paperback release of this story by Murray Forbes (originally titled Hollow Triumph).   This painting was featured in SHAMELESS ART, though it seems to have been credited there to George Gross rather than the more recent Bentley consensus.

  Stanley Borack, THE NUDE WHO DID, - "Luscious Llona's motto is still 'Make love,not war!'" - The Berkley Books paperback release of this entry in Ted Mark's professional-nudist Llona Mayper series.

  Stanley Borack, [unknown title] - We've not yet seen any identification as to what use (probably paperback) this painting was put to.

  Stanley Borack, THE WIFE TRADERS - "Connie Clark joined in the swapping games played by her thrill-mad neighbors. Then suddenly realized her husband was using her body for profit !" - The Beacon Books paperback release of this story from Charles Beck.

  Stanley Borack, SILVER DOLL - "A smart gal in a sucker's set-up" - The Dell paperback release of this story by Blair Treynor.

  Ozni Brown, PRETTY HOSTAGE (TRUE DETECTIVE 1953-Feb) - "One hour of hell for the Pretty Hostage // The War Bride,The Butterfly And The Strangler"

  Reynold Brown, THE BONNIE PARKER STORY - "Cigar smoking hellcat of the Roaring Thirties" - The American International Pictures release of this amped-up biopic starring Dorothy Provine.  The poster was featured in Brown's A LIFE IN PICTURES.

  Al Brule, SEX IS A WOMAN - "It's a discontented young wife like Lena ... a youthful widow like Nancy, empty ... aching ... a matron like Louise, beckoning men with her body ... and they all turned to Dr. Paul Dobson" - The Beacon Books paperback release of this story by 'Sheldon Lord' (a house name) ("author of April North").  Note that this work was clearly 'lifted' for Magenta's release of Bedroom Bargain.

  Al Buell, THE DESERT ORCHID, (inside SATURDAY EVENING POST 1951-Dec06) - "She was absolutely gorgeous, sitting there with those flaming flowers around her." - The illustration accompanying this story.

  Gil Cohen, RISKY STUDENT, (unknown men's adventure magazine illustration)

  Rafael DeSoto, THE FLESH AND THE FLAME - "Their passion was a fire no one could put out" - The Monarch Books paperback release of this novel by Robert Carse.  Five years later the publisher re-used the art on the cover of Doing What Comes Naturally ("He had everything a woman could desire in a man: money, fame, looks--and a bad reputation") by 'Walker E. Blake' (William E. Butterworth III).

  Rafael DeSoto, STRANGE,EXOTIC,BEAUTIFUL WOMEN, (GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAPHY 1957-Smmr (back-cover)) - "The photographer's world of strange,exotic,beautiful women" - With the slightly over-the-top caption printed above it, I think we are to take this painting with the intended bit of whimsy.

  Rafael DeSoto, THE LOLITA LOVERS - "They lived for violence, sin and sensation" - The Monarch Books paperback release of this story by John Clarke.

  Rafael DeSoto, THE GREAT CROSS-COUNTRY GIRL HUNT, (GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAPHY 1957-Smmr) - The front cover of this magazine.  DeSoto also did a related painting for the back cover

  John Duillo (only our own attribution), TOWER OF DESIRE - "On the surface he was the perfect all-American boy. But underneath lurked dark and unnatural urges that were soon to explode." - The Chevron paperback release of this story by Reggie Carr.  What credits there have been seem to be either tentatively Elaine or John Duillo.  Lynn Munroe has reported that Elaine specfically said she worked on none of the Chevron covers, with the exception of one cover-figure she 'stripped-in' for the publisher, so that would seem to leave husband John as the culprit.

  John Duillo (only our own attribution), THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TRACKS - "He wanted only to live life as a human being but his lusts conspired against him." - The Chevron paperback release of this story by John Daniels.  What credits there have been seem to be either tentatively Elaine or John Duillo.  Lynn Munroe has reported that Elaine specfically said she worked on none of the Chevron covers, with the exception of one cover-figure she 'stripped-in' for the publisher, so that would seem to leave husband John as the culprit.

  Bill Edwards, LUST EMPIRE - "Perhaps many men had desires to possess their sisters, but with JB it was rapidly becoming a reality ..." - The Saber Books paperback release of this story by Robert Vaughan.

  Bill Edwards, LUST CAN'T HIDE - "He awoke to find himself tied down. Bitsy entered, advising him that he was a captive sex slave, and he must allow both her and her mother to use him. " - The National Library paperback release of this tale by Jack Vast.

  Bill Edwards, LOVE'S FINAL ACT - "Anxious to be in the nudie movie, the prettiest of a lot of beautiful girls stripped for Craig, and also offered to do anything to get a part..." - The Saber Books paperback release of this story by Mark Daniels. More than one vintage-paperback seller provided an Edwards identification.

  Ellison, THE ROADHOUSE - "The cards were stacked--and so were the babes." - The Magenta Books (Neva) paperback release of this novel by Manny Taylor.  The signature "Ellison" can be made out on the cover, but it's clear that the woman was a direct 'lift' from THE PLATINUM BLONDE painting by Robert Bonfils.

  Eric Earnshaw, [unknown title] - Seems to be British magazine illustration from the 1950s.

  Jack Faragasso, [unknown title] - At auction, this painting carried the title 'Unexpected Audience'.  If it had some commercial use, it has yet to be identified.

  Griffith Foxley, MADBALL - "Step right up gentlemen--they're all alive inside! An original novel of suspense" - The Dell paperback release of this story by Frederic Brown.

  Gil Fullington, COLLISION - "Modern,frank,shocking. The savage novel of a hate-filled love" - The Lion Library paperback release of this story by James Gordon.  Note that while 'Collision' seems to be the title that the story first appeared under, it had subsequently appeared bearing the name 'The Lust Of Private Cooper', so by this time it seems that it was felt that both needed to be on the cover.

  Basil Gogos, A TIME TO LOVE - "Her married life was gray and drab until she answered the call of Mardi Gras, and found a great love." - The Chariot Books paperback release of this story by Noel O'Hara.  This painting was featured in THE ART OF PULP FICTION.

  George Gross, WANTON BY NIGHT - "Love was her game-but he wouldn't play !" - The Ecstasy paperback release of this story by James Clayford ("author of Man Crazy and Bed-Time Girl").

  George Gross, A LOVER FOR ANNE - "She was all his,from the first moment he saw her !" - The Carnival Books paperback release of Sylvia Erskine's story which had been orignally titled Men Called Her "Tramp".  The following year, the art was re-used on the Venus Books release of Backwoods Girl by Peggy Gaddis ("An exciting story of passion in the hill country").

  George Gross, [unknown title], (ALL TRUE FACT CRIME CASES 1950-Apr) - This seems to have been the first issue of this magazine.  Though completely unidentified there, this painting was featured in SHAMELESS ART.

  George Gross, RECKLESS - "There's always a first time--even for Julia !" - The Venus Books paperback release of this story by 'Joan Sherman' (Peggy Gaddis).  Five years later the art re-appeared on Star Novels' release of Office Hussy by 'John Hunter' (Jack Hanley)("Temptation traps a lovely young wife thrust into a fast world of exciting men.").

  Mitchell Hooks, THE VOODOO MURDERS - "Death danced beside her" - The Gold Medal paperback release of this story by Mike Avallone.

  A.R. & Miriam Story Hurford, UNTITLED (inside ALL AROUND US--BASIC STUDIES IN SCIENCE) - One of many many illustrations in this elementary school textbook.

  William Jacobsen, LEAVE CANCELLED - "Only one night together..." - The Dell Books paperback release of this tale by Nicholas Monsarrat.

  Raymond Johnson, DIE ON EASY STREET - "A killer at large in the Hollywood jungle // A new Steve Ashe mystery novel" - The Eagle Books paperback release of this story by James Howard.

  Raymond Johnson, DIE ON EASY STREET (back cover) - "Muder--Hollywood style // Death by misadventure. Cause unknown." - The Eagle Books paperback release of this story by James Howard.

  Raymond Johnson, COUNT ME IN - The Berkley Book paperback release of this story by Fan Nichols ("...the author of Pawn").

  Morgan Kane, TWO MUCH - The Fawcett Crest paperback release of the comedy by Donald E. Westlake ("best selling author of Cops And Robbers").  This is how the cover ended up looking after the nudes in Kane's painting had pink fuzz added to form bikinis.

  Morgan Kane, TWO MUCH (pre-production) - Fawcett Crest put pink bikinis on our two heroines here by applying physical pink fuzz to each paperback cover.

  Dick Kohfield, [title unknown] - It's yet undetermined to what use this was put.  At auction, it was billed as being for a Beacon Books release entitled "Sorority Girl", but we've been unable to confirm such a release actually saw its way into existence from Beacon (or from Softcover Library that they became).

  Ron Lesser, THE MASK OF FU MANCHU - "Back from the dead ... and younger!  The Orient's sinister genius returns with a fantastic scheme to rule the world." - The Pyramid paperback release of this entry in the series of the evil genius by 'Sax Rohmer' (Arthur Henry Sarsfield Ward).

  Ron Lesser, THE NAME IS JORDAN - "Scott Jordan--lawyer and private eye--up to ears in dames and danger !" - The Pyramid paperback release of this story by Harold Q. Masur.

  Ron Lesser, ALL HER LOVERS - "She wasn't interested love -- only lovers // The bizarre story of a marriage made in Hell !" - The Midwood paperback release of this story by 'Alan Marshall' (this time, Donald Westlake).

  Saul Levine, SWAMP HOYDEN - "Men chased her, charmed her, cheated her...But she outfoxed them all !" - The Unibooks paperback-digest release of this story by Jack Woodford & John B. Thompson.  Only a year later, they released another edition of it with new cover art, but this art was still good enough to be utilized twice more - first, CRACKER GIRL by Harry Whittington from Stallion Books ("A novel of temptation--and primitive passions! She was his property;to keep,to beat,to use.") and second, HILL HOYDEN by Lon Williams from Beacon Books ("He always took what he wanted--and what he wanted was her! The story of a backwoods Napoleon who thought he could get away with anything--anything!").

  Lou Marchetti, ALL I CAN GET - "She played for fun--I played for keeps" - The Monarch Books paperback release of this first entry in the Lou Largo private-eye 'series' originated here by William Ard.

  Lou Marchetti, KILL ME,SWEET - "Her love nest was a death trap" - The Monarch Books paperback release of this story by 'Jess Wilcox' (Morris Hershman).

  Lou Marchetti, FARE PREY - "He stole a ticket to the gallows" - The Ace paperback release of this story by Laine Fisher

  Lou Marchetti, IF WISHES WERE HEARSES - "Hear evil, see evil, speak evil" - The Ace paperback release of this story by J. Harvey Bond (it was 'doubled', back-to-back, with Bruce Cassidy's The Corpse In The Picture Window).

  Lou Marchetti, SOMEBODY'S WALKING OVER MY GRAVE - "Model for a murder" - The Ace paperback release of this story by Robert Turner (it was 'doubled', back-to-back, with Dally With A Dead Doll by John Miles).

  Lou Marchetti, PART-TIME WIFE - "She tried to be good, but temptation made her a ... Part-Time Wife" - The Croydon paperback release of this story by Gerald Foster.

  Robert McGinnis, LIKE LOVE - The Perma Books paperback release of this entry in the 87th Precinct police-procedural series by 'Ed McBain' (Evan Hunter).

  Stanley Meltzoff, FINISTÈRE - "A powerful novel of a tragic love" - Signet's release of the homosexual fiction by 'Fritz Peters' (Arthur A. Peters).  The paperback cover itself has been 'well-presented' in QUEER PULP.

  Clement Micarelli, BIG ORVIE - "He tied her up--locked her up--and used her // A novel so different, so daring, that you will never forget it." - The Softcover Library paperback release of this tale by Din Andrew.  There are two versions of this art - The first printing that we are displaying and then a later one that blanks out the sky and gives the girl a shorter dress..

  Milo, RECKLESS VIRGIN - "The sadistic masher ... the twisted Peeping Tom ... the brutal attacker ... she had tempted them too far, and now they were stalking her!" - The Beacon paperback release of this story by 'Glenn Low' (Glen Dale Lough).  The artist signed the work 'Milo', but no other details about this individual are known here.

  Walter Molino, [unknown title],(LA DOMENICA DEL CORRIERE 1950s?) - This seems to be the cover of some 1950s issue of this Italian weekly newspaper.

  Harold McCauley, UNTITLED - No identified commericial use of this art yet, but one website displaying it stated that it was a color-study, presumably for some project that went a different direction.  Note that we definitely also see this hand in McCauley's TERROR OUT OF SPACE (on IMAGINATION 1954-July), it's just uncertain which came first.  This painting was featured in the substantial periodical ILLUSTRATION #59.

  Harold McCauley, MR, MARGATE'S MERMAID, (IMAGINATIVE TALES 1955-Mar) - "Want wacky adventure?  Meet Trina--Every man should be so lucky!  Mr. Margate's Mermaid by Robert Bloch." - This painting was featured in the substantial periodical ILLUSTRATION #59.

  Rudy Nappi, SWAMP KILL - "Gold mad men...thrill-seeking women...and brutal murder in the Florida swampland !" - The Phantom Books paperback release of this tale by 'Whit Harrison' (Harry Whittington).  Nappi's is the identifacation I see associated with this more than any other.

  Rudy Nappi, LET HIM GO HANG - "The murderer was on the jury" - The Ace paperback release of this story by Bud Clifton.  Nappi's name is the only one I ever see associated with this work, but haven't found what the basis of that attrubition is.  At auction, Heritage left this original painting's artist labelled 'unknown'

  Rudy Nappi, [unknown title] - While I've seen this prominently grouped with Nappi's paintings, there's been no declaration about what it's original commercial use was (I've seen mention of a book "Sinner's Alley", but have not found it).  Of late, it's been utilized quite a bit, to sell e-books or otherwise drive home a memed point.

  Rudy Nappi, QUEER PATTERNS - "A delicate theme, treated honestly and candidly" - The Eton Books paperback release of this story by Lilyan Brock.

  Frank Oldham, UNFAITHFUL - At auction, this painting was credited as having been used on a paperback titled "Unfaithful", but I've yet to find an image of such a book cover.

  Victor Olson, GEORGIA HOTEL - "The affairs of a traveling salesman" - The Pyramid paperback release of this story by Scott Laurence.

  Victor Olson, PIERRE'S WOMAN - "A strange desire drove them together" - The Pyramid paperback release of this story by Jacques deBrout.

  Victor Olson, FOR WOMEN ONLY - "This bold and significant book pierces the perfumed curtain of commuterland--unmasks a new and perverse cult! An uncensored novel probing suburbia's spreading shame ... For Women Only" - The Beacon Books paperback release of this story by Kirby MacLane.

  Victor Olson, THE HAREM - The Pyramid paperback release of this story by Louis-Charles Royer ("author of Love Camp").

  Victor Olson, THE SHADOWY SEX - "A revealingly frank novel of women who love women" - The Beacon Books paperback release of this story by Hilary Hilton.

  Victor Olson, DOWN AND OUT - "She was like all the others...a young female desperately in need of money, with nothing to offer in the way of collateral except herself !" - The Midwood Books paperback release of this story by Les Masters.

  Victor Olson, [unknown title] - At auction, this painting (titled there, 'Affection') was believed to be for a paperback cover, but if so, its identity has not yet come to light.

  Julian Paul, AFRICAN MISTRESS - "She dragged him down to the lowest depths" - The Pyramid Books paperback release of this story by Louis-Charles Royer ("author of Love Camp").

  Carl Pfeufer, FIVE HOURS OF TERROR, (SURE FIRE DETECTIVE STORIES 1958-Feb) - "Don't miss Five Hours Of Terror by George Wilson // also Joe Dunn--Jim Barnett--Al James--Art Crockett-Paul Kelp--others" - While this magazine cover art may indeed not actually associate with any of its contents, for the moment we will assume it does since it is the only title laid out on the cover.

  Baryè Phillips, A WOMAN FOR HENRY - "Like the swamp she lived in, Marna was a lure, and an ending" - The Gold Medal paperback release of this story by Allen O'Quinn.

  Baryè Pillips, FIND THIS WOMAN - "She was elusive as a jungle animal and bloody kills marked her trail" - The Gold Medal paperback release of this tale by Richard S. Prather.

  Baryè Phillips, SATAN IS A WOMAN - "She carried hell in her heart" - The Gold Medal Books paperback release of this story by Gil Brewer.

  Barye Phillips, ODDS AGAINST LINDA - "Farewell, my lethal liar" - The Ace paperback release of this story by Steve Ward.  There is a stong contingent of commentators that feel this is actually by Lou Marchetti, citing the lack of signature and the perception that this exact 'style' does not repeat in any other painting in Phillip's known oeuvre.  On the other side of the discussion is the fact that the Phillip's attribution would seem to be Charles Martignette's, as the work had been part of his huge estate collection and he was considered a renowned authoriy, collector and author, in regards to pin-up & illustration art.

  Samson Pollen, HOW LIKE A GOD -"[from New York Herald Tribune:] An extraordinarily brilliant and fascinating pice of work ..." - The Lion Books paperback release of this tale from Rex Stout.  Pollen's identification with it seems the only one in play, but I've seen nothing yet solid to back it up.

  Walter Popp, MADEMOISELLE MAUPIN - "A rake's search for a perfect bed-mate !" - The Royal Books paperback release of this classic by Theophile Gautier (only the top-half of cover as it was combined with Voltaire's Candide).  Note that this painting was later modified (the rake removed) for it's use as the cover of Adam And Two Eves,

  Walter Popp, COUNTRY CLUB CHEAT - "Every husband in the club admired her charms // A frank novel that probes behind the suburbs' fasionable facade and exposes the waywardness of the country club set !" - The UniBook digest-paperback release of this story by Janet Pritchard.  Four years later it was modified to be used on the cover of Universal Publishing's Trailer Tramp by Orrie Hitt ("She moved from town to town--from man to man...// A searing novel of passion on wheels").

  Walter Popp, THE LUSTY LAND - "Even a hired hand needs a woman..." - The art was the top half of a double cover, as this story by Valerie Taylor was combined with Forbidden Fruit by Curtis Lucas as the Universal paperback release of the two.  Five years later, the painting had been modified, putting the guy in a collared-shirt, for the Charles Willeford's interracial paperback, HONEY GAL, released by Beacon Books (with the girl apparently processed to be darker)("He was white, she was beautiful..and bad // A starkly naked novel of sin and segregation").

  Walter Popp, THE DISPOSSESSED - "When they kissed he knew...// Unmasks the torments that drive a man into abnormality...// A best seller on two continents--" - The current state of this canvas that Popp originated is as the cover of The Dispossessed (Geoffrey Wagner's novel from Beacon Books), but it was pretty different originally, when the artist created it for SHIP'S DOCTOR by Henry Lewis Nixon from Intimate Novels ("No surgery could cut away his hunger for her // He was a doctor--headed for the gutter !").  Someone put in a whole new background, took away the man's doctorate and altered his visage hideously.  You can see that, with limited options, an attempt has been made to digitally restore Popp's original doctor figure, though making for an incongruous whole.

  Arnoldo Putzu, TRAITOR'S EXIT - "Featuring Boysie Oakes" - The Corgi paperback release of this entry in the Boysie Oakes series by John Garner ("author of The Liquidator and Madrigal").

  Arnoldo Putzu, UNDERSTRIKE - "Featuring Boysie Oakes" - The Corgi paperback release of this second entry in the Boysie Oakes series by John Gardner.

  Arnaldo Putzu, HIDEAWAY - A collection of two shorter stories in John Gardner's Boysie Oakes tougue-in-cheek spy series.

  Jack Rickard, NAKED FURY - "Brutal men...dangerous women...and cold-blooded murder stir a small town to a frenzy of savage revenge !" - The Phantom Books paperback release of this tale by Day Keene ("author of Hunt The Killer").  I've seen only a single knowledgeable commentator that credited Rickard for this painting.

  Harry Rosenbaum, [unknown title] - Rosenbaum, who's signature can be seen on this painting, is not a generally well-known artist, having seemingly done the majority of his work for Mens Adventure Magazines, so I'm betting this work is a painted illustration for one of them.

  Al Rossi, THEY CALL HER "EASY" - "The word 'no' wasn't in her vocabulary ..." - The Ecstasy digest release of this story by Gwen Lyons ("author of When Flesh Meets"). Years later the art appeared again, on the Beacon Books paperback release of Private Club (by Orrie Hitt): "At the Shamrock, guests always got what they wanted ... Boldly takes you behind the scenes at a swank resort club where unusual parties were part of the social program.".  The art can also be seen, with modification, on the Spanish No Confies En Las Rubias [Don't Trust Blondes] by Nat Karta.

  Al Rossi, THRILL CLINIC - "The knife-sharp novel of an unscrupulous marriage-counselor who traded on the sex needs of suburan wives..." - The Softcover Library paperback release of this tale by Jill Monte.

  Al Rossi, LOVES OF A FEMALE WRESTLER - "A terror in the ring...a tigress in the bedroom! Mauled...manhandled...exhibited before lusting eyes...this lovely creature fought depravity and disgrace at the hands of bone-crushing men and passionate Amazons" - The Beacon Books paperback release of this story by Ben West.

  Bernard Safran, MOUNTAIN SINNER - The Croydon paperback-digest release of this story by Delmar Kingsland.  This art was then tightly excerpted & modified for the re-release of it, retitled HOYDEN OF THE MOUNTAINS.

  Charles Schridde, SEX-SWINGER - "Sharon was the kind of blonde men go for--Every night she used her voice and body to explode a bombshell with every song she sang, but that was only the warm-up for what followed !" - The Beacon Books paperback release of this story by Andrew Blake.  While I see this included in some various Robert Maguire collections on the interweb, it has been noted that the full painting bears, in the lower right, the signature "CWS", interpreted to represent this artist.

  Robert E. Schulz, TAKE CARE OF ME - "A mature novel of modern infidelity" - The Midwood Books paperback release of this story by John Turner.  It appears that the very same year, 1963, the publisher put out a different book with the same art tighter excerpted, The Come-On by Vin Fields ("She was the bait...the extra added attraction").  There have been modern re-use of the work -- first, on the cover of issue 2 of the crime digest Betty Fedora-Kickass Women In Crime Fiction, and then, on Aiyo! by Parsavan Pillay

  Michael Sell, KITTY BONDAGE - The was the 'cover' of a blank greeting card from Paper Moon Graphics, considered one of the hippest companies of the 1980s by many of that time (they were in operation in both the late 1970s & early 1990s, as well).  The artist's name is recorded in the indicia on the card's back.

  Dick Shelton, DEATH CREEPS SLOWLY, (MIKE SHAYNE MYSTERY MAGAZINE 1959-Aug) - "Death Creeps Slowly--a new Mike Shayne novelet // Dead Wrong--a Johnny Liddell novelet by Frank Kane // The Frightened Lady--a Jim Troy thriller by Theodore Mathieson" - This art was later modified and used on Mike Shayne Mystery Magazine 1965-June ("Brett Halliday's Mike Shayne // Richard S. Prather's Shell Scott // Vincent Starrett's Jimmy Lavender // Michael Avallone's Ed Noon // Baynard Kendrick's Duncan Maclain // Fletcher Flora's Lt. Joe Marcus").

  Wojtek Siudmak, VéNUS ET LE TITAN - This art was first seen on the cover of this French translation of the novel FURY by Henry Kuttner [& C.L. Moore] from that country's Presses Pocket.  Then the following year in America it graced the Ace Books paperback re-release of the earlier Robert Sheckley's novel THE 10th VICTIM which is was expansion of his short story (THE SEVENTH VICTIM) in association with the then Italian/French film made of it bearing the native title LA DECIMA VITTMA ("A hugely entertaining novel about love and death by the author of Pilgramage To Earth and Mindswap!").  Almost five years later, it traveled back across the Atlantic to be used as the cover of GEBURT DER VENUS, Droemer Knaur's German translation of VENUS ON THE HALF-SHELL by 'Kilgore Trout' (Philip José Farmer).

  Malcolm Smith, RECKLESS PASSION - "The intimate love story of a lady of pleasure" - The Pyramid paperback release of this tale by Gordon Semple (which seems to have appeared in print previously as the hard-to-find 'The Price Of Passion' from Phoenix Press).  I've seen only a single knowledgeable commentator that credited Smith for this painting (and have alternatively seen Rudy Nappi associated with the art).

  Robert Stanley, VIRGIN PLANET - "A world of beautiful women--and one man !" - The Beacon Books paperback release of this story by Poul Anderson.

  Robert Stanley, WILD BODY - "Everyone wanted Valerie--including her pretty roommate! The strange history of Valerie, victim of her mother’s lechery, her father’s looseness, and her own burning lust..." - The Beacon Books paperback release of this tale by Manning Clay.  I've only seen a single knowledgeable commentator that credited Stanley for this painting.

  Eric Stanton/Steve Ditko, WHIPPERSNAPPER - The Unique Books paperback release of this story by Bud Conway.  The edge of the opening door allowed the image to be two halves, the right one executed by Eric Stanton and the left by Steve Ditko.

  Barry Stephens, SWAMP GIRL - "Hers was a wild,untutored love...Who would win this untamed child? The wealthy stranger she passionately craved, or the backwoods lout who meant to have her--at any cost !" - The Phoenix Press paperback release of this story by Perry Lindsay.  A number of years later Beacon Books added a tattered window-shade to the painting and re-used it on Ellie's Shack by Orrie Hitt ("She had just what every man wanted! They were always peeking and pawing at her. How could a girl stay good ?").

  Jack Thurston, ONE MILLION B.C. - "A time when there was no law and man..woman...and beast roamed the Earth--untamed ! // Now on the giant screen in breathtaking PanaMation and vivid color--the dawn of civilization recreated as never before...with all its realism, savagery and scenic splendors !" - The poster for this film from 20th Century Fox.

  Verne Tossey, RECIPE FOR HOMICIDE - "Take equal parts of terror, passion, suspense;  Stir well, add murder, chill before serving ..." - The Dell paperback release of this story by Lawrence G. Blochman.

  Ed Valisgursky, THE GUARDIAN OF THE CRYSTAL GATE - "Guardian Of The Crystal Gate by Robert Silverberg"

  Tony Varady, I,THE JURY, - "Passion, crime and suspense" - The Signet paperback release of the debut book by Mickey Spillane.  (There sometimes seems to be confusion with Lu Kimmel's cover for Signet's Canadian edition)

  Al Wagner, PASSION SLAVE - "They lured her into the world's oldest trap // They ran a strange kind of house, these girls--the inside story of a Calcutta brothel" - The Chariot Books paperback release of this story by Wilson MacDonald.  This cover art has been attributed to Robert Maguire on listings of his work, but the barely discernable signature *does* seem to match Wagner's.

  Kirk Wilson, CATCH THE BRASS RING - "He was all set for a free ride--in a hearse !" - The Ace Books paperback release of this story by Stephen Marlowe (published 'doubled', back-to-back, with Stranger At Home by George Sanders).  Four years later, Britain's Digit Books re-used the art on Harlan Ellison's THE DEADLY STREETS ("Teenaged wolf-packs in the New York jungle !").

  George Ziel, SCOWTOWN WOMAN - "Another novel of primitive passions by the author of Riverboat Girl" - Ace's paperback release of P.A. Hoover's novel.  Note that the art was re-used, flipped, years later for Digit Book's Alabam' by Donald Henderson Clarke ("She learned to say 'no' the hard way !")

  George Ziel, THE COLOR OF HATE - "Had she invited rape ?" - The Ace paperback release of this tale by Joe L. Hensley.

     PROBABLY MODERN

  Ástor Alexander, THE BOUNTY HUNTER - "No man was as deadly" - This seems to be a modern retro piece that re-imagines a Nintendo game property as a vintage paperback.
