Missing Body Parts — Vintage Paperback Art

The cover artist’s job is to make cover art noticeable in such a way that the potential buyer is intrigued and wants to buy the book. Here are some noticeable covers that only give us parts of a body, or in some case only some clothing and no body. Are you intrigued?

FACES

Only eye and lips visible
Only eyes, nose and lips visible
Front of Face Visible
Eyes, Nose and a Bit of Lip
A Man with his Apparent Facial Disguises
(but no bodies with them)
Hanging in MId-Air
Only Face and Hands visible

CLOTHING BUT NO BODIES

BODY BUT NO FACE

ARMS AND HANDS

UPPER BODY

I hope you enjoyed looking as these unusual covers. If you have some that would fit this category, send them my way (george@deadlypleasures.com)
