Robert McGinnis is a name I associate primarily with bad-girl or at least sexy-girl paperback covers, such as these.
While I associate him mainly with hardboiled paperback PIs — obviously he knows how to draw the kind of women who turn up in those — unsurprisingly he drew other things. This swashbuckler cover, for instance.
Though he still works in a nude woman. And then there’s this one —
Quite different from his other works; the cover suggests sex is in the air but it doesn’t slap us with it (not that I object to covers that slap us with sex). I’ve no idea who Alan R. Jackson is but if I’d seen this in a store, I’d have looked it over, maybe read the first page or two. So McGinniss did his job.
