@bx1: Sorry, I took the good-natured trolling a little far. I've seen that old Davy Crockett movie about four or five times, so I know what that is. It doesn't look like a raccoon-based cap, though. It might be some other animal.

Anyone who uses the phrase "raccoon-based" is alright with me.
That would require waaaaaaaaay to much writing. :)
I gave a lettering seminar at SCAD (Savannah College of Art & Design) once. Most of the students attending where only there because the seminar they really wanted to take was already filled to capacity.
Alright, let me give it a shot. Title: Frontier-Man Loves Mary Jane Story 1: Frontier-Man No More! I'm Cold!Story 2: The Death of Jean, the Wolf (I'm a Spider-Man fan, in case you couldn't tell) "
Scratch, scratch, scratch...I don't get it. Is the Wolf his hat?
Somebody (other than you, Jotham) please explain this to me.
"The wolf one was intended to refer to a backup story that wasn't featured on the cover, if that helps. "
O.K. Now I got that part...but what does his not being a Frontierman anymore have to do with the weather? It was plenty cold on the Frontier.
I think that there is a good reason why this GSK painting never saw print as a cover. It just doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I'd love to find out what the story it was supposed to illustrate was about.
Right now, I'm looking for virgin covers by Gloria's mentor, Rafael De Soto. They are all but impossible to come by because, I believe, most of the originals are in private collections. This guy was brilliant! He did the Spider pulps. If you want to see scary, check De Soto out!
@Roxanne Starr: It's supposed to be "no more, I'm cold" as in no more snowball face smooshing because the woman is cold, not like he quit being Frontier-Man. I wanted to reference the Spider-Man title, but not the plot.
I found out that there was an article on him in Illustration #10, but I can't lay hands on that issue and it's long out of print. Sigh...I'll keep digging.
" I found those just in time for Halloween. The guy in the incinerator gives me the creeps. That illo reminds me of every time I helped a bad person do something bad. "

i found it whoooooo okay so i basically put my own story behind it? "
Yeah, pick a cover, decide on the name of the publication and the story the cover is illustrating, and then I put the graphics on it.
It's that kind of gun that's in every picture, M1911 is the original military name and I've heard it called a Colt 45, but I was introduced to it as a 1911.

To do own any guns? Most everyone does here in Georgia.
I don't need one though. I have Velcro, my Jack Russell Terrier.

Congrats, danny!...you now have dibs on the cover of the couple getting off of the plane. Secret Fatal Affairs will be the name of the publication. Good job!
Now, do you want the title of the story to be "The Infidelity Files part 1" or are you still thinking about it?
