Over the weekend, novelist Bill Crider scanned the delightfully lurid covers of nearly 200 of his vintage paperbacks, many of them by Harry Whittington (under a variety of names). I don’t know what I like more, the illustrations or come-ons like these:
"He used two women to feed his brute cravings."
"The sultry story of pagan revelries, lonely men, and a native girl."
"Her luscious body was used as a man trap"
"Faceless, he might be a devil or saint…but he had the lusts of a man."
I remember seeing covers like these when I was a kid, thinking I was slightly naughty because I was hanging around the paperback rack.
I liked the cover about Naked Roller Skating.
I’m a huge fan of paperback covers. Robert McGinnis is one of my all time favorites.

I was thrilled to see the Hard Case Crime series sporting the vintage cover look. Thanks for posting the link!
