Steven Stroud illustrated the three Nancy Drew covers shown below.
He was kind enough to sign my books and mentioned a few interesting facts:
* In The Swami's Ring, he illustrated himself as the man chasing Nancy.
* The publishers wouldn't pay for models, so he used a previous model for Nancy's head and his wife for the body.
* In The Mystery of the Winged Lion, the "bad guy" was actually his wife with a moustache drawn on.
