by Ron Cobb
1975
Painting by Ron Cobb for the cover of the 1975 book Autumn Angels, by Arthur Byron Cover. In descending order: Hawkman; the demon; the 'Fat Man' (Sydney Greenstreet portraying 'Kasper Gutman' in the 1941 movie The Maltese Falcon); and Theodore Marley Brooks, aka 'Ham', from the Doc Savage novels.
Ha! I nagged my mom into buying me that book when I was a little kid, based solely on the cover. I tried to read it but never finished, I think it was a bit beyond me at the time.

for what it's worth, my review is here:
