This biography from the Archives of AskART:
Born (November 1, 1904) and raised in Brooklyn, New York City, Walter Baumhofer became known as the "King of Pulps" because he was a dominant force in the pulp-magazine market as a prolific and consistent illustrator, creating over 1500 pieces. He illustrated western novels as well as all forty-one Doc Savage magazine covers for Liberty magazine, and women's magazines. It was said he was successful because he brought the talents of a fine artist to illustration.

The winning of a city-wide poster contest earned him a scholarship to the Pratt Institute in 1922. In 1945, he moved from New York City to Northport, Long Island and used local models, which gave his work a realistic quality.

Baumhofer died on September 23, 1987, a resident of Suffolk, New York.
