Original cover art for D For Delinquent. Gouache on board, 24.75" x 16." Image in frame.
This cover art appears to have been swiped for use in the British paperback The Big Rumble by Edward De Roo (Digit Books, R-360; 1960). It was then used by Michael Barson and Steven Heller as the cover art for their Teenage Confidental: An Illustrated History of the American Teen (Chonicle Books; 1998).
What is interesting is that there is no signature on this art and although it was in the Charles Martignette estate (and sold by Heritage Auction House), there is no knowledge of the artist identity. ~ Dr. Smith |

John Taine was the pseudonym of Eric Temple Bell (1883-1960), Professor of Mathematics at the California Institute of Technology, whose highly readable books on mathematics are still highly acclaimed. Taine wrote about a dozen SF books. Most of them were Originally published in the 1920's and 1930's in hardcover form, since Taine does not appear to have been aware of the SF magazines until his writing career was well established. After World War II, there was a brief but intense Taine revival. Many of his best novels were reissued by the short-lived semi-professional book publishers of that era and a number of his books were reprinted by Famous Fantastic Mysteries. However, many modern readers have never heard of him.

One of the ACE Image Library users has brought to my attention that this may be a re-number of D-350. On the image of this cover there was the typical ACE white renumber block in the number space. Since there is so little real information on these renumbers, I only ever get decent data when a user sends me a query. As you can see from the image for D-350, the price is $0.35 (which is also the price on the D-551). It is interesting that there is no reprint notice on the copyright page (but ACE seldom did this even when they actually bought the rights for a story). For example (of this style of renumbering), F-210 (which is a definite reprint of D-350 with a new cover) has a price change to $0.40. I want to thank the IMAGE LIBRARY user (anonymously) for sending me this image that allows me to document this renumber issue. ~ Dr. Smith

William Hope Hodgson (1877-1918) was killed in WWI in France while serving as an officer for the British Army. His primary venue was the supernatural and the macabre and many consider his nightmarish visions to rival those of H. P. Lovecraft. The House on the Borderland and The Night Land (c. 1912) are the best examples of his science fiction writing.
