I wonder if he used family members to pose, or if he used the same female model from his men's magazine covers to pose as the frontiersman?Harry Lee Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16827346497541912743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8187252086580715970.post-58553341326217178072009-02-25T05:59:00.000-08:002009-02-25T05:59:00.000-08:00I agree with theses other folks, HGE.

I'm sure the illustrators were under tight deadlines and used whatever tricks they could to get the jobs in. Some might have been stereotyped based on ability to draw animals or sexy women. Sure is a fun book, highly recommended.Harry Lee Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16827346497541912743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8187252086580715970.post-10630686466908431462009-02-24T03:26:00.000-08:002009-02-24T03:26:00.000-08:00That's a really, really terrific book.William Huls...That's a really, really terrific book.<BR/><BR/>William Hulsey's covers stood out for me like Doore's seem to have for you. They seemed even more preposterous. He had the same poor guy get attacked by all kinds of fierce and dangerous creatures like squirrels, small turtles or, say, a group of apparently cloned women...<BR/><BR/>One would think that such skilled illustrators could have strayed a little further from their references every now and then. :)Teemuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11746155994535927576noreply@blogger.com
