GEORGE GROSS...top artist for pulps in the '30s and '40s, men's adventure magazines (MAMs) in the '50s and '60s, and paperback covers from the '40s through the '80s.
GEORGE GROSS...mentor and friend to iconic illustrator Mort Künstler, Gross's artwork helped establish a visual vocabulary for action/adventure and hard-boiled fiction. His imagery continues to inspire and influence, from action paperbacks to the PULP FICTION movie poster.
GEORGE GROSS: COVERED, the latest title in The Men's Adventure Library series, is the first book devoted to the illustration art of George Gross, focusing on his intense and expertly rendered magazine covers for MAMs. Men at war, femmes fatales, spies and disasters, man versus beast, Gross painted them all magnificently. With background and context supplied by editors Deis and Doyle, art historian David Saunders, and pantheon illustration artist Mort Künstler. Available in softcover and deluxe expanded hardcover with additional content.
