29 ABOVE: A magnificently moody cover to Battle Picture Library 335, 'Weapons of Terror'. Strong design and lighting were a hallmark of Penalva's work for the pocket libraries. LEFT: Sweat, rock-jaw and gritted teeth set the tone for Battle Picture Library 380, 'The Shield of Auray'. The titles were published in 1968 and 1969 respectively and are typical of the work Penalva was producing at the time.
