An Original Unused Proof for the Color Illustrated Dust Jacket for Howard Browne's First Book "Warrior of the Dawn".

Chicago: Reilly & Lee, (1943). (1943). ORIGINAL PROOF FOR THE SUPERB COLOR PICTORIAL DUST JACKET ILLUSTRATED BY FRIDOLF JOHNSON - An 8-12 inch high by 21 inch wide color illustrated dust wrapper for Howard Browne's first book "Warriors of the Dawn". Illustrated in color from a drawing by Fridolf Johnson, the jacket's front panel depicts the protagonist Tharn, a Cro-Magnon, climbing a rope with one hand as he flees pursuing spear wielding men. Attired in a red loincloth and wielding a primitive knife in his other hand, Tharn looks down on his pursuers from above the bluish-tinged stone carved dwellings from the doors of which golden light shines out. The title and author's name are boldly printed in red across the top of the jacket's front panel and spine. The original price is printed above the blurb printed on the jacket's front flap and "A War Bond Message" appears on the rear flap. The Jacket is only folded once vertically along the rear edge of its spine with the expected rubbing along the fold. There is some very minor light foxing to the white flaps. Very good.

This an original proof for the dust jacket to Howard Browne's first book "Warrior of the Dawn", the author's only fantasy novel aimed at older boys. A Tarzan-like adventure, the novel is the story of Tharn, a Cro-Magnon which was one of the first truly human races. Penned during the period of the Second World War, there is a hint of patriotism to the story which is further emphasized by the jacket's blurb which states: "Give Tharn a tommy-gun instead of a flint-tipped spear, and he would be very much at home with the Marines in the South Pacific".

The science fiction editor and mystery writer Howard Browne (1908-1999) was managing editor for the pulp periodicals "Amazing Stories" and "Fantastic Adventures" beginning in 1942. In addition to his novels and stories, he wrote for several television series and films including "Maverick", "Ben Casey", and "The Virginians". His novel "Thin Air" was used as the basis for an episode of "The Rockford Files" titled "Sleight of Hand" and also for a an episode of "Simon & Simon" titled, appropriately enough "Thin Air".

An illustrator and artist as well as a fine pressman, the jacket's illustrator Fridolf Johnson was an editor of American Artist Magazine until his retirement in the 1970's. As a graphic artist, he designed title panels for Hollywood movies and art & typography for advertising as well as dust jacket illustrations. He compiled and edited the Knopf book "Rockwell Kent: An Anthology of His Work" and the significant reference work "A Treasury of Bookplates From the Renaissance to the Present". Very good .
