Les's Notes:
Penguin paperback cover for an anthology of "22 more tales of sex and horror", edited by Michele Slung.
Tales of Sex and Horror eh? As the first book had a woman on the front the publishers naturally wanted a man on the second. My first pencil drawing had the skeletal hand with a bony finger on the man's lips but it was decided that this departed too much from the first cover so I altered things to the way you see them. I spent a long time trying to get the hand to look natural. About two days after I delivered the final artwork I found, by chance, a plastic model of the bones of the hand which would have made perfect reference. Sod's law!
