Luberoff (1910-2002) was a New York-based illustrator who began his career in the 1930s working freelance for pulp magazines like Saga, Love Romances, and Climax. He went on to design over 60 covers for Columbia magazine, one of which, most notably, resides in the Baseball Hall of Fame. In the late 1950s, Luberoff worked for Reproducta Company, Inc. and produced Christian-themed paintings, many of which remain among the most iconic and widely distributed religious images today.
