LA Bantam - Illustrated Covers Part II

In part I I discussed the nine illustrated covers that Bantam produced for books 21 through 28 plus A1. Books 21 to 28 also came with type covers.

Here are three more of the illustrated covers. The only signed cover art is seen here - Nobody Heard the Shot. Note a feature that is common to the covers. The front cover and spine were laminated for better wear but the laminate has often lifted to some degree. The addition of the laminate also caused some deterioration to the colours.

The lifting of the laminate is also found in early Pocket Books. See the example below.
