He worked another 20 years painting covers for all kinds of paperbacks including western (The Lone Ranger), historical romance, action, military (Hornblower), biography, and Gothic horror. He truly was the man who painted everything.With over 380 illustrations, this book provides an overview of Bruce's career.
