A Modern Master<br> <br> Robert E. McGinnis began his career in 1947 as a cartoonist, and produced his first cover illustrations for 1956 issues of the magazines <i>True Detective </i>and <i>Master Detective</i>. Then in 1958, he painted his first paperback book cover, and from that day forward his work was in demand.<br> <br> The emergence of the “McGinnis Woman”—long-legged, intelligent, alluring, and enigmatic—established him as the go-to artist for detective novels. His work appeared on Mike Shayne titles and the Perry Mason series, and he produced 100 paintings for the Carter Brown adventures. Yet McGinnis became famous for his work in other genres as well: espionage, romance, historicals, gothics, and Westerns. <br> <br> McGinnis’s first major magazine assignments were for <i>The Saturday Evening Post</i>, and his work has graced the pages of <i>Cosmopolitan</i>, <i>National Geographic</i>, <i>Good Housekeeping</i>, <i>Guideposts</i>,
