Here are the six Bass/Kallis illustrations done for Stanley Kramer’s “Not as a Stranger.” Though Bass had a long and fruitful relationship with Kramer, I could only find evidence that two of these drawings were actually used to advertise the film in any way. However, the primary figure in all of these drawings — that of the doctor in full operating regalia, including his mask — was the primary notion in all of the posters for the movie, and in the two consumer advertisements used most.

Not as a Stranger No. 1

Not as a Stranger No. 2

Not as a Stranger No. 3

Not as a Stranger No. 4

Not as a Stranger No. 5

Not as a Stranger No. 6

The two Bass/Kallis illustrations that were used virtually verbatim as ads for the movie are drawings No. 1 and No. 6. Here are the ads:
