Ah, so! Then maybe that one issue that said Albert Drake did the Raphael DeSoto-type cover is wrong, after all! (I have found many typos in the pulps I have read, btw.) And if that’s so, then maybe that other pulp mailed the wrong proof sheet to Soare, after all! Maybe these pulp editors and mailers were all a bunch of sloppy drunks who committed egregious errors all of the time! Maybe printing splotches were actually spilled alcoholic drinks! The plot thickens!
This cover reminds me of a conversation I recently had with my friend, Richard, about some untagged cases I found in my garage:
“Look here, Richard. Case is not tagged,” I said to my friend. “Please tag it.”
Also, this:
https://pulpcovers.com/gunmen-of-glory/
is tagged John Walter Scott.
Weird. The table of contents of that magazine clearly credits Scott as the cover artist, but the cover itself is clearly signed Case.
