Magnus Colcord "Rusty" Heurlin: Pulp Magazine Covers Gallery I

So many Western artists started their careers as illustrators before they became successful easel painters. From Frederic Remington to Tom Lovell, John Clymer, Howard Terpening and James Bama, and many others -- the list goes on and on. Famed Alaskan painter "Rusty" Huerlin joins the list. Here are some of his pulp magazine covers, done years before he became a celebrated Alaska scene painter.

The Sterankophile: The Shadow Covers

 

 

Jim Steranko is an illustrator and graphic designer who moved into paperback cover paintings in 1969, bringing the same innovative design and illustration flair to cover illustrations that he brought to comic books earlier in his career.

 

During the 1970s, he produced a series of fan-favorite Shadow paperback covers for Pyramid Books. He was rumored to be the first choice to be involved in illustrating DC Comics The Shadow series, but due to conflicts with the script writing, he withdrew his services and the artistic chores eventually went to Michael Wm. Kaluta.
