Cortlandt Hull, who interviewed Mr. Bama for his terrific documentary The Aurora Monsters: The Model Craze That Gripped the World, is spreading the word that our hobby's most influential artist has passed away just a few days shy of his 96th birthday.
Mr. Bama, of course, is the artist behind most of Aurora's classic box-art monsters as well as Doc Savage paperback covers and some of the best Western art ever. Here are a few of my favorites.
