AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Quite a mystery when it comes to the covers. Michel Atkinson collaborated sporadically with various pocket-book collections of romance novels and about schoolgirls from 1961 to the 1970s, creating covers for Romantic Confessions PL (1961), Love Story PL (1961-62, 1965, 1969-70, 1973-74), True Life Library (1961-62, 1965-66, 1968-69), Princess PL (1961-63), Schoolgirls PL (1961-62), School Friend PL (1962-63), June and Schoolfriend and Princess PL (1968). There were fairly long periods of absence during which he probably devoted himself to illustrating book covers. It is known that he was a regular cover illustrator for Hank Janson novels published by Roberts & Vinter between 1961 and 1965, as well as for a wide variety of genres for Digit Books between 1963 and 1965. Although he was quite prolific, it is likely that “Michel” (as he signed most of his book covers) found steadier work outside the realm of pocket-book cover creation and for Fleetway Publications from the mid-1960s.
