He was a giant in the world of space illustration, ranking right up
there with Chesley Bonestell, and his incredibly energetic paintings
could take your breath away the first time you saw them; there's a

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

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:
