    Superior pulp art showcase book
  

*by K***L on Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2012*

Just received this book which is comparable in quality to David Saunder's book on Norm Saunders,....which is to say a superb effort.  It is an oversized book on excellent paper with a paper dj as well as an imprinted image on front board book.  Great production qualities by The Illustrated Press.  Mostly full size repro of 7 Lone Ranger pulp covers. Hundreds of high definition glossy cover photos(sized to be appreciated at 4 per large book size page) of Spicy Mystery, Spicy Detective, Spicy Adventure, Private Detective, Speed Adventure, Spicy Western, Super Detective, etc.  The pulp covers look as though they came from a just-purchased-off-the-newstand collection. Quite a few pages with blown-up(or zoomed in)detail art from the actual oil paintings which led to the magazine covers.  A bibliography of Ward/s pulp art is here.  Quite a few repros from the actual paintings themselves.  A must have for risque art or damsel in distress popular art.  Saunders points out that many of the damsels in Ward's paintings do not have a rescuer in sight and likely are going to have to depend on their wiles to escape rape/murder/kidnapping. Also his work on Lone Ranger, Green Hornet, Superman.  He died at an early age of 36 during WW 2 of lung cancer. Good family background/photos also.

    Lots of Beautiful Full color plates
  

*by 4***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2016*

Lots  of Beautiful  Full color  plates, However I felt there was way  too much  text for  an art book,  FAR too  much  detail  and exposition ,  Also  too  many  supplemental  and B&W  progressive  pieces,,  I  believe  the book  could  have  supported  at least  20 more full  page illos.  had these elements  been  condensed,  Overall  well  worth it  and a fantastic book, But hopefully In the future  we will see another  volume  with only  full page  illos and minimal text

    Fascinating Story of a Great Artist ... ...
  

*by J***. on Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2012*

This book is a real dream come true. High quality binding. Full color throughout, printed on high quality paper. One of the most fascinating chapters of this book is the story behind H.J. Ward's 1940 painting of Superman. This chapter reveals the artistic influences and the actual person who posed as the Man of Steel for this iconic painting. The story is all here. There is also a couple of very nice chapters that covers The Lone Ranger and The Green Hornet. Including, aside from the magazine covers, some promotional and product advertisement art. Truly beautiful art abounds on nearly every page of this book. Detective, adventure, and even some spicy magazine cover art, it's all here. David Saunders writes a very informative and entertaining story of a great artist who left us too, too early. The late, great Hugh Joseph Ward.
