I saw this work, it looks of it comes out of the sixties. Anyone know this work and the maker?

According to a quick Google search, the artist is James Bama. It was made as the bookcover for the 1964 book Countdown for Cindy by Eloise Engle. The original was sold at a Heritage Auction in 2010.

For those familiar with Doc Savage, James Bama was the paperback cover artist for that series of almost 200 books.
