Thats a real blow to the world of space art. Certianly comprable to
Bonestell. I have a Popular Sceince around here somewhere (late 60's
maybe) about manned ASAT's and McCall did some beautiful work in the
article (I've never seen those illustrations anywhere in the public
domain)


For a few years there, you'd see his work every month or so it seemed.
He was obviously very prolific as far as total number of paintings went.
He had a very distinctive style which I found highly effective.
Really liked this one in particular:
