Graham Greene’s novels have had many reprints and reissues over the years with different cover art but in this gallery we showcase the work of artist Paul Hogarth (1917-2001) who was responsible for the Penguin paperback covers of Greene’s books from the 1970s until the end of the 1980s. Beloved of many Greene readers for the way they capture in a single image something profound about the story, these covers show that Hogarth not only read all of Greene’s novels closely but admired him as a writer. Hogarth understood in a fundamental sense all that Greene sought to convey through his writing. Together, author and artist combined to give us something really special.
