Hearst's American Weekly Cover Index Part VII: 1941 - 1945



These years are the last hurrah for covers I consider to be eligible for Stripper's Guide. Russell Patterson's Flossy Frills covers and the last Fish series close us out. The final period that I indexed, 1941 through 1951, concentrates mostly on pin-up covers. Henry Clive, Willy Pogany and David Wright become by far the most often seen contributors.

A big change to the section comes with 1944. The American Weekly changes from broadsheet to tabloid format.

Some notes on the listings:
* when you see a "#", that means that the cover is part of a numbered series and the number is given on the cover. Sometimes I remembered to write that down, sometimes I didn't so its catch-as-catch-can. If a series cover explicitly states that it is the first or final installment and its not obvious from the surrounding dates, I sometimes note that as "(start)" or "(end)".

* when I say "(story illo) that means that the cover is illustrating a text story in the magazine.

* I don't make guesses about covers I haven't seen. Therefore, even if I have one missing issue between installment 2 and 4 of a series, I resist the urge to assume what may be obvious.

* When a cover is descibed as, say, "Famous Fishes (Herring)", that means that the cover is part of a series titled Famous Fishes, and this particular cover depicts the herring.

Hi Allan,

I enjoy your blog and this index is wonderful. I just wanted to add that The Eight Chaucer Tales of 1942 was illustrated by Edmund Dulac but John Erskine also contributed text, as in the 1940 series Seven Tales from King Arthur's court.
I have published an eBook with all the American Weekly covers of Dulac this year. You can find it on Amazon,etc.
all the best,
Albert
