However, some pulp artists have very distinctive styles and I've learned to figure out the paintings of such top of the line artists like Walter Baumhofer, Norman Saunders, Raphael Desoto. This particular cover might be by Richard Lillis who lived a long life dying finally in the 1990's at age 95. He did alot of pulp western paintings but has received very little notice among pulp collectors and scholars. However we can't be absolutely sure if it's Lillis without his signature or credit on the content's page.

Walker, I much appreciate this sort of info. Somewhere around here I still have a scrapbook where I pasted examples of the DC bullet and Marvel Comics logo from the respective company's comics through the '50s, '60s, and into the '70s. When you do track down the original paintings, is it difficult to discover the actual artists? Thank you, Charles. Safe Thanksgiving travels.
