Slick cover work (and occasional stories) for Stag, For Men Only, True Detective, Amazing Stories, Man's Illustrated, Fantastic Adventures, Startling Stories, Male, Thrilling Wonder Stories, Master Detective, Man's World. Adept at hard-boiled detective and crime paperbacks, westerns, and sci-fi, in his later years he was a respected gothic and romance novel cover painter.
