This is a collection of Gold Medal paperback covers both from my collection and from my roaming around the internet doing research. The best info on covers, the artists, and the background of cover art production at Gold Medal is found in Piet Schreuder's magnificent Paperbacks, USA: A Graphic History. He states that Al Allard was the Art Director at Gold Medal (at least at the beginning) who had a background in stage design and advertising.
Some of Al Allard's cover designers for Gold Medal include:
- Barye Phillips
- James Meese
- Mike Hooks
- Louis Glanzman
- Frank Tinsley
- John Floherty, Jr.
