J. Allen St. John wrap-around illustration for the first edition of
SWORDS OF MARS. James Allen was the son of a painter and
had early, fond memories of absorbing the Parisian art scene
with her. After showing himself ill-suited for a "respectable"
business career, his peeved father sent him West to become
a cowboy. Once there, he instead took up with painter Eugene
Torrey - which led to studies at the Art Students' League in
New York, the Academy Julian in Paris and a hugely
successful career. He is best known for illustrating the Edgar
Rice Burroughs Tarzan books.

NOTE: On this page you will see two facsimile versions of the same dust jacket. This happens because as my collection grows and I gain new DJs to work with and I
gain skill, I try to create a clean copy of those facsimiles that were fairly rough when finished. Yet these rough first efforts have virtues, such as an authentic look more
closely resembling an original, older jacket. So instead of throwing the old version out, I keep it and add the newer version along side it.
The first version will be what I have called the "Antiqued Version," a facsimile in which I have made few corrections other that cleaning up the edges and restoring
missing data. The second, called "Version 2," has been corrected so that, while the finish may not be completely white, it has had most of the blemishes removed and the
text corrected.
