Cool Art: 'Hard Case Crime' Illustrated Pulp Art Covers

I love the art of the old pulp magazines and novels. It's where the work of such legendary artists like Robert McGinnis, Glen Orbik, Ron Lesser, Robert Maguire, Roy Krenkel Jr, J Allen St John and many more first caught my eye.

With some of the pulp heroes making a comeback in the world of comics, 'Hard Case Crime' is bringing back the pulp crime novels, complete with illustrated covers too!

Hard Case Crime is an American imprint of hardboiled crime novels founded in 2004 by Charles Ardai and Max Phillips, and is dedicated to reviving the vigor and excitement, the suspense and thrills—the sheer entertainment—of the golden age of paperback crime novels, both by bringing back into print the best work of the pulp era and by introducing readers to new work by some of today’s most powerful writers and artists. Determined detectives and dangerous women… fortune hunters and vengeance seekers… ingenious criminals and men on the run… Hard Case Crime novels offer everything you want from a great story, all in handsome and affordable editions.
