The is the first cover painting I did for Moonstone Books "Big Book of Kolchak the Night Stalker." Not based on any particular story in the book, I always liked the idea of Carl facing a scary menace in broad daylight rather than in the stereotypical nighttime. But where to place Carl? I stuck Carl out in the desert (so I gave him a jeep to get him there) and I had him clutching two books, "Cryptozoological Winged Monsters of the World" and "Exotic Birds of North America." There's something exotic over his head.
