Chap O'Keefe's ever popular western heroine, Misfit Lil is to return in a large print edition from Ulverscroft this coming August. The new illustration of Lil from artist, Michael Thomas that will grace the jacket truly is exceptional.
Chap tells us:
"Book cover artist Michael Thomas has painted Lil before, of course, once basing his interpretation on an old photo of the (in)famous and hugely popular Lillie Langtry (1853-1929). Recently, Michael was commissioned by Ulverscroft publishers Thorpe to paint a new portrait of Lil for the large-print edition of Misfit Lil Robs the Bank, which is coming up in August (and may be available for pre-order somewhere!)."
Pictured below is the original Black Horse Western cover image. The new image is a marked improvement. Still the proof is in the pudding, you must never judge a book by its cover and so on - And Chap always provides exceptional western adventure, whatever the bindings. But it must be said the new image provides a much classier look - man, Lil looks hot for a change!
"So a western that blends the traditional with more challenging subject matter in a well paced plot that once more proves the Misfit Lil series is definitely worth reading."
