Popular Library 317 (Feb., 1951). Cover by Rudolph Belarski
Artist Rudolph Belarski (1900-1983) was renowned for his pulp magazine, paperback and men’s adventure magazine covers. He began painting professionally while still in his teens after an illustration of his was discovered on a wall in a coal processing plant. He fine tuned his talent at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn as a student and, later, he worked there as an instructor. Pulp magazines filled newsstands in the 30s and 40s and had a voracious appetite for full color artwork for their covers. Belarski produced covers that were among the best. He applied his enormous talent to paperbacks and comics in the 1950s and men’s magazines in the 1960s.
