Synopsis:

ONE MAN ARMY: Don Pendleton’s Mack Bolan, “The Executioner,” applied his select skills and training to target organized crime with the intensity, fortitude, and firepower of an entire division of highly trained specialists. Bolan took on the Mafia, the KGB, and international terrorism with ruthless, relentless determination...and lethal results.

ONE MAN ARMY: Gil Cohen, veteran artist, targeted the commercial illustration market with the drive, skill, and stamina of ten painters. Creating hundreds of arresting cover images for bestsellers and paperback series of every stripe (while somehow also working as a university art teacher), Cohen was a powerhouse producer of memorable covers and a “secret weapon” of publishers who recognized that his dynamic and memorable artwork was invaluable in defining—and selling—paperback novels in a fiercely competitive marketplace.

ONE MAN ARMY: The explosive new art book from The Men’s Adventure Library, produced in full cooperation with the Artist. Exploring the incomparable talents of Gil Cohen through the unique perspective he brought to the Mack Bolan universe, ONE MAN ARMY showcases dozens of his spectacular and iconic original paintings created as cover art for the bestselling action series. A visual chronicle of the ongoing—and ever-expanding—adventures of Mack Bolan and company that spotlights Cohen’s seminal role in establishing the Bolan mythos and legend for millions of dedicated readers.

Available in softcover and as a deluxe hardcover with additional content.

In his younger days, ROBERT DEIS explored various options for making a living. Among other things, he worked as a teacher, an artist, a musician, a logger in the Maine woods, a magazine writer and a state government bureaucrat. Eventually (by accident rather than design) he fell into a long-lasting career as a political consultant. Nowadays, he blogs and writes about things that interest him, such as famous quotations and men's adventure magazines. Bob grew up in the decades when men's adventure magazines were flourishing, but he didn't take much notice of them until he read the 2004 book MEN'S ADVENTURE MAGAZINES IN POSTWAR AMERICA, which features the amazing art and magazine collection of Rich Oberg. That inspired him to start collecting and studying men's adventure magazines. In 2009, he created the MensPulpMags.com blog. Through that, he met other fans of the genre, including Rich Oberg, Wyatt Doyle and Josh Alan Friedman, who all agree that what the world needs now is greater exposure to the wild, weird world of men's adventure pulp fiction and pulp art.

Wyatt Doyle is ringmaster of New Texture, and he edits and designs most releases. His own books include STOP REQUESTED (illustrated by Stanley J. Zappa), DOLLAR HALLOWEEN, I NEED REAL TUXEDO AND A TOP HAT!, BUTY-WAVE IS NOW CLOSED FOREVER, and JORGE AMAYA DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE. A retrospective of his photography was presented by Gallery 30 South in Pasadena, CA. With Robert Deis, he edits the Men's Adventure Library series, exploring vintage pulp fiction, art, and history. With Jimmy Angelina, he created THE LAST COLORING BOOK and THE LAST COLORING BOOK ON THE LEFT, as well as BE ITALIAN. Together with Hal Glatzer and Norman von Holtzendorff, he produced THINGS THAT WERE MADE FOR LOVE, collecting the songsheet art of Sydney Leff. He assisted in the publication of Georgina Spelvin's memoir, THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT, and published Josh Alan Friedman's BLACK CRACKER and TELL THE TRUTH UNTIL THEY BLEED via his Wyatt Doyle Books imprint. He administers the creative estate of Rev. Raymond Branch, and curates RevBranch.com. His screenplay with Jason Cuadrado, I'M HERE FOR YOU, was produced as DEVIL MAY CALL. A member of The Stanley J. Zappa Quartet, a recording, THE STANLEY J. ZAPPA QUARTET PLAYS FOR THE SOCIETY OF WOMEN ENGINEERS, has been released.
