  Hannes Bok - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hannes Bok (1914 - 1964 April 11) was the pseudonym of an American illustrator and writer of fantasy fiction, mainly of pulp science fiction novels and magazines.
He is most famously known for his novels Sorceror's Ship and Beyond the Golden Stair, both included in the Ballantine Adult Fantasy Series, and his striking wraparound cover for the November 1963 issue of FandSF, illustrating Roger Zelazny's A Rose For Ecclesiastes.
Hannes Bok won the debut Hugo Award for Best Cover/Professional Artist in 1953.

One of the two AAC letters to Bok is typed at the margin of Bok's own letter to Celia Mendelsohn & signed by her; the other letter on her letterhead was the work of a secretary.
The Bok letter which Mendelsohn typed her brief reply on is of some consequence.
The other five letters are written to Bok from Maud M. Daniel of Charles Scribners art department, & document the interest in Bok's early work that was incited within the Scribners offices, but which seems to have led nowhere for fear that his work was (at this time) merely in imitation of his friend Parrish.

In his youth he'd been lovers with the fantasy illustrator Hannes Bok, & was a storehouse of tales of gay s-f fandom in the pulp era when nobody dared be "out" except to each other.
I have a vivid memory of the day he decided to "come out" to me. He said, "Come sit here Jessica I wanna show you something," & he began thumbing through his private stash of classical sheet music, pulling out some drawings & sketches & setting them in front of me. I was flabberghasted.
Harold & Bok lived together in New York when they were young, & a few other places here in there, California for a while, but both were from the Seattle area & that's where Harold eventually returned.
