Illustration Magazine #57

"Illustration features the spectacular art of Earl Mayan, best known for his photographically detailed slick magazine illustrations of the 1950s. Written by the artist's daughter, the profile presents a behind the scenes look at the creation of his finest illustrations, as well as dozens of reproductions of his original paintings, drawings, and rare reference photographs. The second feature examines the link between William Faulkner's paperbacks and the influential and widely imitated cover art of James Avati. Last up, James Witek returns to explore the graphics used in marketing bubblegum cards through the decades."
