Berkey’s TV GUIDE Art

John Berkey did 17 illustrations for TV Guide, and I’ve found 13 of them — (maybe there were more, 17 is my best estimate at this time).

If anyone can help me find the missing 4, I’d really appreciate it!

1983 — A-bomb cover

I’ve looked at all the covers for this year, and there was one showing an A-bomb blast — but to me it looks like a photograph, not a Berkey painting…
