Paperback Cover Artwork Collection

* This set of pages is dedicated to cover artwork from old detective paperbacks and the like. I wanted to make sure that this artwork wasn't lost, and also show off some of my digital retouch work -- when you're looking at the artwork, please remember that most of it began life as scans of covers of paperbacks published from the early 1960s into the mid-1970s.

Some of the covers are accompanied by a "close up" of the artwork. There is no pornography on these pages, though some of the paintings are about as revealing as you can get and still be able to technically disclaim nudity. If you're sensitive to such things, you need go no further.

As far as copyrights go, I can't claim or grant any rights to these covers. My main wish is to ensure that they don't disappear forever.

This was once a separate website, titled KISS KISS BANG BANG, but I consolidated it with my main website so I could get some ad revenue out of it. I kind of miss the old title since it fits the material so well.
