GEORGE GROSS: COVERED, trade paperback edition of a new men's pulp mag art book

Description: This is a brand new copy of the trade paperback edition of GEORGE GROSS: COVERED, published in August 2022, one of the pulp art books in the Men’s Adventure Library series I co-edit with Wyatt Doyle. It’s the first book devoted to the illustration art of George Gross, focusing on his intense and expertly rendered cover art for men’s adventure magazines (MAMs) published in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. It’s also the first book to reveal the connection between Gross and the first paintings to depict characters in Mario Puzo’s novel THE GODFATHER. The text includes a biography of Gross by pulp art expert and historian David Saunders (son of artist Norman Saunders) and an interview with artist Mort Künstler, who was a friend and protégé of Gross. GEORGE GROSS: COVERED is a full color, 8 1/2″ x 11,” coffee table book. There’s also a deluxe hardcover edition, which I sell in a separate listing. Gross was one of the few commercial illustration artists whose career included creating cover art for classic pulp magazines published in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, and paperback books published from the 1950s to the 1980s. Indeed, his memorable cover art helped define the look of mid-20th Century action/adventure fiction.I’m Robert Deis, Co-Editor of this and other books in the Men’s Adventure Library book series, and Co-Editor of the MEN’S ADVENTURE QUARTERLY magazine. In other listings, I sell copies of all books in the Men’s Adventure Library series and all issues of the Quarterly. In addition to George Gross: Covered, the MAL series includes: Pollen’s Women: The Art of Samson Pollen, The Exotic Adventures of Robert Silverberg, Pollen in Print: 1955-1959, Maneaters: Killer Sharks in Men's Adventure Magazines, Pollen’s Action: The Art of Samson Pollen, Weasels Ripped My Flesh!, He-Men, Bag Men & Nymphos, A Handful of Hell, Barbarians on Bikes, I Watched Them Eat Me Alive, Eva: Men's Adventure Supermodel, Cuba: Sugar, Sex and Slaughter, One Man Army: The Action Paperback Art of Gil Cohen, and the Cryptozoology Anthology.
