I have no idea about the cover art. When I started doing them, I read one of the ones written by Joe Lansdale. (He wrote three of them. They're listed in the Wikipedia article about Joe.) I picked up a couple of catch-phrases from Joe and used them in my books. Mike Newton also wrote some of them. That's about all the info I have.mybillcriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02350478005243505108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-72269926655134561432010-01-30T19:06:14.768-06:002010-01-30T19:06:14.768-06:00I've got 1-16 of this series.

Was it made just to compete with Mack Bolan books? Did all the authors develop the characters and plots together and then split up? Who wrote what? Who painted the covers and who was the model for Stone?

I could sure tell a difference in the writing of the different books.
