I should point out for those who don't know that McGinis is
the very prolific cover artist who did very many of the
paperback covers for writers such as Richard S Prather,
Carter Brown, Edward S Aarons, Brett Halliday, the Travis
McGee books, the Gold Medal editions of Richard Stark, as
well as countless others including many of the most famous
authors, books & series' especially for Signet, Dell
& Gold Medal. He also did some very famous movie posters
from the '60's such as for
"Barbarella" & the Bond movies. He's a very important if
often overlooked part of the history of hardboiled literature
& helped to sell Buddha knows how many extra copies of
these books with his paintings of impossibly beautiful, sexy
& elegant femmes fatale.
