Photo of the Day: Actually, illustration of the day...

Photobucket

I have no idea where this illustration is from, but I would love to know, if anyone has any hints. Looking like the covers of the old paperbacks that lined the walls of the library in my country house when I was a child- cheap thrillers and sci-fi novels that my father had read and loved enough to keep for decades- I eagerly want to find and read whatever book this was drawn for...

the guy is James Coburn, and it's from the 60's, maybe for the movie, Our Man Flint. :)

I was thinking the same thing as Miss Absinthe. It has to be James Coburn.
