On the prison Isle of Os Harku, where the sweepings of Aquilonian society are thrown-traitors, murderers, thieves, and those whose crimes are too terrible to name-a dark force lies entrapped that feeds on the evil of the men around it. An ancient demon, the life force of one of Hell's own, it snares Athu, a venal Shemite sorcerer, and drives him to attempt escape from the Isle, and to quest for the entrance to Hell. With the aid of a sorcerous storm, the prisoners of Os Harku take a ship, and make their escape. But on that ship is the flame-haired woman warrior, the only Aquilonian brave enough, or bitter enough, to try to stand between a demon and the gates of Hell.

Today's the 100th anniversary of the birth of prolific artist James Bama! His over 60 Doc Savage covers were a prime reason for the popularity of the Bantam Books reprints. #docsavage #pulp #adventure #artist #art #paperback

A final post about The Baroness…for now. I mentioned the French covers were not art but photos of topless women. They were also “Penny” books rather than “The Baroness.” Additionally, the UK had alternate covers for the first four books. These are not my images. I’d love to track these down.

THE BARONESS #9: DEATH IS A COPY CAT Art by Hector Garrido. Cover mocked up by me. This is art crafted by Garrido for the 9th installment of this series which never saw print in the US, but did in France as a part of the Eroscope line. The French covers featured topless women instead of this art.

A mock up of a baroness book cover. On the cover is a painting of a female spy fighting off a goon. In the background is an illustration of a brain and some sort of tycoon.

THE BARONESS #8: BLACK GOLD Cover art by Hector Garrido. This is the final American release of the Baroness novels, but I will post a special follow up tomorrow about Penelope St. John-Orsini!

A baroness paperback novel. On the cover, in front of a solid, bright yellow background, a slender brunette female wearing a black skintight black bodysuit stands in an attacking pose. She is karate chopping with her right hand and holding a sword (literally) with her left hand. In the background a set of other images appear including a canon and a castle.

Back of a paperback novel with text that reads: The Baroness drills for danger.
Baroness Penelope St. John-Orsini takes on SPOILER, a mysterious organization that threatens to turn the world's most precious commodity into an all-devouring instrument of death.
Now the sensuous superspy must use every inch of her devastating body against a perverted mastermind who dreams of global conquest. Facing sadists and sea monsters, she hasn't a moment to lose-for already the lethal lubricant has begun to choke the planet in a horrible ooze of black death!
