The new issue of Illustration magazine has a feature on Herbert Morton Stoops (1888-1948). Stoops had a long career in adventure and military illustration.
He painted covers for Blue Book magazine for 13 years. The article was written by Colonel Charles Waterhouse, USMC, himself a notable painter of military history.
Illustration #32 also has articles on “Ed Balcourt, Artist and Artist Representative,” and “The Artists of Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators” which looks at the covers for a series of mystery books.
As always with Illustration magazine, the articles are lavishly illustrated with fine color reproductions, and you can preview the entire issue online.

It looks to me like EVERY issue is available on line, or at least a great number of them. Wow. I'd never heard of this magazine - ever. It's quite a resource, James.
