Ron Embleton Cover Gallery

Ron Embleton was not a prolific paperback cover artist, but his cover work pre-dates the painted strips he produced for comics by some years. The subject matter may be straight out of the pulps in most cases, but they show Embleton's confidence in the use of colour even when the artist was still only in his early twenties (in fact, the earliest known cover listed here dates from around the age of 18/19, but I don't have a scan).
