James Bama does 007

"Popular Science" , January 1966

James Bama, for decades now primarily a nature and western artist, was in the 60s the premier action-cover artist for many paperback releases. He was mostly known for his Doc Savage covers.

The Freckled Shark

This was artist James Bama's final Doc Savage cover. He quit doing them because he " Wanted to paint for myself & do what I want with no time limit or direction "

Bama's Space Girl

James Bama is best known for his covers for the Bantam DOC SAVAGE editions of the 1960s, and later as a western artist. Here is a nice change from his muscular adventurers...from a 1964 novel.

From the cover blurb, we can gather that there is a medical emergency on the moon..instead of sending a doctor, they'll be sending Nurse McGee.
