The story you ...Hi Matt and great to hear from you. The story you tell sounds very typical of Denis, he was such a generous guy when it came to sharing his art with his fans. Unfortunately and it was something that Denis would sometimes remark on, not one example of his original hard-boiled art for the Boardman Bloodhounds and Mystery Paperbacks was ever returned to him. Some ended up with the respective authors and some ended up on the publisher's wall but where the rest went no one knows.<br /><br />However, I am pleased to say the quality of the proofs we had to work with, as well as Mark Terry's superb restorations, are such that we have images that are often just as good (if not better - depending on how art is often allowed to deteriorate) than than the originals themselves might have been.Peter Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15566601617123798061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816075755902555378.post-59165774927132916632012-08-16T06:06:11.010+01:002012-08-16T06:06:11.010+01:00bit late to mention it now but a friend of mine in...bit late to mention it now but a friend of mine in New Zealand corresponded with McLoughlin and was sent some original art and copies of some crime cover art. He thinks the art is lost now but still has copies of the crime art. Looking forward to the book, we'll be getting a copy each!Comics Bonfirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10729057011795073976noreply@blogger.com
