ONE MAN ARMY: Don Pendleton's Mack Bolan, "The Executioner," applied his select skills and training to target organized crime with the intensity, fortitude, and firepower of an entire division of highly trained specialists. Bolan took on the Mafia, the KGB, and international terrorism with ruthless, relentless determination...and lethal results.

ONE MAN ARMY: Gil Cohen, veteran artist, targeted the commercial illustration market with the drive, skill, and stamina of ten painters. Creating hundreds of arresting cover images for bestsellers and paperback series of every stripe (while somehow also working as a university art teacher), Cohen was a powerhouse producer of memorable covers and a "secret weapon" of publishers who recognized that his dynamic and memorable artwork was invaluable in defining--and selling--paperback novels in a fiercely competitive marketplace.

ONE MAN ARMY: The explosive new art book from The Men's Adventure Library, produced in full cooperation with the Artist. Exploring the incomparable talents of Gil Cohen through the unique perspective he brought to the Mack Bolan universe, ONE MAN ARMY showcases dozens of his spectacular and iconic original paintings created as cover art for the bestselling action series. A visual chronicle of the ongoing--and ever-expanding--adventures of Mack Bolan and company that spotlights Cohen's seminal role in establishing the Bolan mythos and legend for millions of dedicated readers.

Available in softcover and as a deluxe hardcover with additional content.

So often associated with cheapness and low quality, pulp fiction and filmmaking have influenced the way we live for more than a century. Many respected authors and artists worked for the pulp and paperback markets, while films made for the low budget or youth markets are now rightly regarded as classics as they continue to inspire the movies and television we watch today.

Profusely illustrated with more than 800 rare and unique images from around the world—including book and magazine covers, interior illustrations, movie posters, comic books, promotional items, tie-ins, and previously unpublished artwork commissioned especially for this book—this handsome volume charts the history of escapist horror and the individuals who created it.

Compiled by multiple award–winning writer and editor Stephen Jones, and with a foreword by prolific and acclaimed author Robert Silverberg, this visual history brings together insightful and revelatory commentary from some of the genre’s most highly esteemed experts. The Art of Pulp Horror is a stunning and informative guide to how, for over 100 years, we have enthusiastically embraced and exploited the gratuitous and the gory into our popular culture.

HERBERT PAUS is known best today for his faultless draftsmanship, his sense of design, and his brilliant use of color in his long-running series of covers for Popular Science magazine. He was a member of the government’s committee on pictorial publicity during World War I, and painted many effective posters to support the war effort. The success of these widely seen posters lead to commissions from such publications as Woman’s Home Companion, American Magazine, Collier’s and many others, as well as outstanding book illustrations for Maurice Maeterlinck’s play “Betrothal” as told for children entitled Tyltyl and more. Paus also painted for such advertisers as Hart Schaffner & Marx, Goodyear, General Motors, Certain-teed, and Victor Records. This new book presents a comprehensive overview of Paus' illustrious career, featuring scores of illustrations reproduced from original paintings as well as rare tear sheets and photographs. 224 pages, 9"x12", full color, hardbound.
