Robert Gibson Jones’s Covers Art.Robert Gibson Jones (1889-1969). American illustrator Robert Gibson Jones. After completing his art training in Chicago, Jones worked mainly in advertising for 20 years before becoming a regular Ziff-Davis cover artist in 1942. Jones also created covers for non-genre titles such as Mammoth Adventure and Mammoth Detective. Later in the 1950s, Jones was responsible for covers for Amazing Stories, Fantastic Adventures, and Mystic Magazine. He also did interior art. Jones’s stimulating, vivid cover illustrations were reminiscent of Earle K Bergey in some respects. They featured exotically dressed characters and a love for beautiful, dark-haired ladies. One famous cover, for the August 1950 issue, Amazing, featured a woman with a bejewelled headband appearing above a mountain range to a group grounded space travellers. Brian W Aldiss in Science Fiction Art (1975), quotably stated that Jones “made champagne out of the mythology of technological progress: The wish that frontiers beyond Earth will yield adventure power and romance.” However, one could also say that Jones’s distinctly old-fashioned visions for the future, which evoked the imagery of historical romances but lacked any real resonance with the futuristic spirit that sf embodies.

for science fiction, fantasy and detective fiction magazines. He also contributed hundreds of black-and-white interior illustrations.

Peter Poulton a American artist. One of the many artists to enter the science fiction field during the boom years of the early 1950s, Poulton was one of the best. He used a sharp pen-and-ink style as opposed to the many artists who worked in grease pencil or wash during the period. For shading he used detailed cross-hatching and stipple work to produce the desired effect. In many ways, his work was very much in the style of Virgil Finlay. Although Poulton did not have the near photographic realism of Finlay, his art often expressed a lighter, more humorous touch. Poulton handled human figures well but also was not afraid to depict unusual aliens or strange machinery in his art. Although he was primarily an interior artist, he also painted several attractive covers for Future Science Fiction.
