Paperback art of John Holmes

The Paperback Art of John Holmes 

at 'The Paperback Palette'

A very nice pictorial at the website of 'The Paperback Palette' on the art of the UK's John Holmes (1935 - 2011). 

If you grew up during the 1970s then you probably remember the striking cover art Holmes provided for the Ballantine paperback editions of the works of H. P. Lovecraft.

The pictorial at The Paperback Palette showcases many other memorable covers Holmes did for publishers in the US and the UK during the 1970s and 1980s. Unfortunately, Holmes's art began to appear less frequently in the late 1980s, and he doesn't appear to have been active in the art field in the 1990s and after. His current obscurity is undeserved............
