What is interesting is that this cover painting was printed backwards. You can see Bob's classic signature at the bottom left, and it is reversed.

This painting must have been designed for a wrap-around cover, and it was decided to be a gatefold instead. Hence the need to reverse the print.

The back cover is just black with verbiage.

It is nice that Bantam decided to give a little extra value to the paperback. this was done for several of the Bob Larkin cover Conans.
