Pollen's Action: The Art Of Samson Pollen

Pollen's Action: The Art Of Samson Pollen 
Edited by Robert Deis and Wyatt Doyle

 

Samson Pollen (1931–2018) was one of the greatest illustration artists whose work appeared in vintage men's adventure magazines from the 1950s to the 1970s. Pollen's specialty was action: dynamic, explosive, outrageous action. Illustrating work from authors Mario Puzo, Martin Cruz Smith, Richard Stark, Norman Mailer, Ed McBain, Richard Wright, Don Pendleton, Erskine Caldwell, Walter Kaylin, Robert F. Dorr, Pollen's immersive illustrations transported adventure-hungry readers from tropical jungles to brutal battlefields to raging seas and mean city streets. Samson Pollen painted it all.

Sharpshooter #6

They Couldn't Stop 
The Sharpshooter So 
They Brought Back 
The Most Brutal 
Killer In The 
History Of 
The Mafia


The Sharpshooter headed for Cape Cod looking for trouble. He found almost more than he could handle. A brutal Mafia capo held the entire Cape in his claws and he was raking in the millions from drugs, gambling, and prostitution. The local police were powerless to stop him. 

Rock had to use every trick in the book to topple this entrenched  and virtually omnipotent origination. But the Sharpshooter had sworn a blood oath to avenge his murdered parents and nothing, not even the entire Massachusetts Mafia could stop his bloody onslaught.
