Well, that’s probably not what’s going on here, but as an alternative reading we like it. This issue of Challenge is from this month in 1958 and the cover is by Mel Crair, who painted covers for such western pulp magazines as Exciting Western, Texas Western, and Western Short Stories, and later did adventure magazine illustrations such as this one above and painted promo posters for Hollywood film companies. We’ll have more from Crair later.
