John Scott was featured in ILLUSTRATION Magazine #14 in 2005

John Scott started as a pulp cover artist, and did 331 covers… he signed his name “J.W. Scott”…

 

… then in 1941 he renounced his entire body of work for the pulps and never again signed his name “J.W. Scott” as he strived to move up to the more sophisticated arena of magazine illustration….

Obviously a tribute to his earlier science fiction pulp art!
