Almost impressionist in a way. It's both eerie and beautiful.

Many Doc Savage fans have cited this cover as the worst in the series. Really????
I think the pale yellow logo color and the white title really hurt the cover. But the Pfeiifer painting is excellent, as always.
Thanks so much for your website! A longtime Bama fan, I'm just
beginning to realize how amazing Fred's Doc covers are. 'Spook Hole'
and 'Derrick Devil' are my new favorites. Their impressionist style
definitely falls into the category of 'fine art'. Thanks to EBay
dealers, I've been able to obtain some near-perfect Pfeiffer Docs-
the same covers I turned my back on forty years ago. Gee, maybe I've
grown up! Well, not entirely...
