HYDE PARK BOOKS
			ROBERT STANLEY
		Robert Stanley's first paperback cover illustration appeared on Bantam #212, Fighting Man in 1949 when he was only 18 years old. After doing six more covers for Bantam---mostly westerns--- he moved over to Dell Paperbacks where he remained until 1959. There he created the "Dell Look" of the 50's, the distinctive combination of bright colors and action figures reminesent of the old pulp magazine illustrations. He also did 19 covers for Zane Grey's Western Magazine between 1951 and 1953. He is said to have also done a few illustrations for Lion and Beacon books, but we haven't identified any.
