Wonder why the watermark is Fine Art America when it’s a British magazine.
Terrific artwork though.

John Bull’s illustration’s seem to be a Brit version of Saturday Evening Post magazine that often featured Norman Rockwell’s covers of romanticized American domestic life.   |

Yes, I was going to say the first two John Bull covers were in Norman Rockwell’s style.

Oddly enough, I can't find 'Eat Fat and Stay Fit' in any bibliography of Ms. Christie's works. But all kidding aside, great cover. Magazines lost a lot when they dropped illustrative art in favor of photography. |

Wonder if they still make stuff like this.  Little pulp Sven Hassel mini books were big when I was a nipper, too. |

Yeah, Sven Hassel books got passed around our school. I never bothered reading one though.
Used to read The Victor magazine. Gott im Himmel! Aiiiieeee!
