Cover Art by Robert McGinnis

My post Look of Love (inspired by the wonderful book of Jennifer McKnight-Trontz) shows you how romance covers are changed the from the '20 to the end of the twenty century. Wonderful covers (and many of them so you are warned the post is heavy!) by the biggest names of Graphic Design like Geralg Gregg, Barye Phillips, Bob Stanley, Robert Maguire, Lou Marchetti, Robert McGinnis and many others. Enjoy!

Good Lord.

The coy grass covering the edge of his buttocks!!!!

The way that he appears to be giving himself a cleavage frottage with a corpse...

It was a genial cover, isn't it? I have the original book, without the red point in later time the publisher put on the bum...

BTW it was a cover by Robert McGinnis, who is one of the most talented cover artist and graphic designer of his time.
