Talk:Virgil Finlay

Dwellers in the Mirage (1932)?
ISFDB evidently credits Finlay with cover art for A. Merritt, Dwellers in the Mirage (Liveright, 1932), when Finlay was 18 years old.

The image in that database does not match the "first edition" cover we show in the book article. It does appear to be the photo of something creased by wrapping around a book but, if so, there is writing only on the spine, no letters or numbers on the front or back cover.

ISFDB also
 * credits Robert A. Graef with cover illustration (image on file) for the serial version, part one (Argosy, January 23, 1932).
 * credits Finlay with both cover (image on file) and interior illustration for the revised version, The Dwellers in the Mirage (Fantastic Novels Magazine, April 1941).

American Weekly. By the way, we say here of Finlay, "In 1938 he went to work for A. Merritt [author of the 1932/1941 novel] at The American Weekly, moving from Rochester to New York City." In our magazine article The American Weekly we quote thus:
 * The best (and most) of the interior art is by the amazing Lee Conrey. Our collection runs from 1918 to 1943 and issues from 1923 through 1943 have his work. It's clear to me that he was a major influence on Virgil Finlay and probably on Alex Raymond. ...
