His Majesty O'Keefe - Lawrence Klingman and Gerald Green (1953.Uni-Book Giant 03) wraparound cover Warren King (Darwin Edit)

Warren King, 1953.

 

Uni-Book Giant Edition of His Majesty O'Keefe. Released after Burt Lancaster bought the rights to the 1950 but before the movie was released.

 

A charming wraparound cover from Warren King. I love the island girl peeking out from the leaves on the spine with O'Keefe's junk and the volcano in the background.

 

I saw the film last week, a charming diversion, and Lancaster rides high in the vanity project. Troublesome subtexts of colonialism and slavery, sure, but why let that ruin a good time ;)
