Hopefully by adding a bit more content than just a ripped off illustration that I tweaked they are more enjoyable.Sleestakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08512281434803286602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14759247.post-29388577638286355072009-08-29T21:16:42.978-07:002009-08-29T21:16:42.978-07:00Yes, Raymond, darn it!

I was starting to read a lot of mysteries at that point—Ellery Queen, Rex Stout, Agatha Christie...and I'd buy stacks of them at a used book store. Whenever I saw one of these ESGs, however, I'd have to pass it by unless it was a coverless stripped paperback. I knew that despite the geniality and harmlessness of the stories within, Mama Bull would not approve of those covers. And she's the one who got me <i>started</i> on Perry Mason books.Bullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11708103213119467419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14759247.post-46018176595229318072009-08-29T11:08:22.626-07:002009-08-29T11:08:22.626-07:00Actually, a lot of the illos for Perry mason stori...Actually, a lot of the illos for Perry mason stories serialized in the SatEvPost in the 1950s and early 60s were pretty racy for the time & venue. The biggest criticism about the photo covers is that there's no emotion, personality, or individuality among them; artists like Robt. McGinnis (who did a fair number of Perry Mason covers in the 1950s and 60s) usually put some sort of emotion or personality into the women on their covers. These covers just look...clinical.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />(,,,uh,,,BTW, I presume you meant to type "Raymond" instead of "Aaron" Burr...)buzznoreply@blogger.com
