James Walter Reynolds was a pulp magazine illustrator who began studying art through evening classes at a Chicago art school while working at a book bindery. After moving to New York City in 1915, he opened a studio and made a career illustrating covers for prominent pulp magazines, including Adventure, The Argosy, The Frontier, Lariat Stories, Short Stories, The Thrill Book, Western Story, and Wild West Weekly. He also contributed pen-and-ink illustrations to Physical Culture, Everybody’s Magazine, and Boy’s Life, and illustrated novels including Apache Gold by White Birch, Laramie Holds the Range by Frank Spearman, and The Bar 20 Rides Again by Clarence Mulford. From 1925 to 1928, he was listed as an illustrator of fiction stories in Lee & Kirby’s annual nationwide directory of artists.
