"The Blonde With Too Many Names" is being stopped by an agent of the US Postmaster General bacause the gun she's attempting to mail to the D.A. doesn't have a zip code on the label. Oh? Zip codes hadn't been invented yet? My bad. I guess it's just more great pulp fiction detective style!

December, 1948.

This is a fine symbolic cover dealing with old vs. new theologies - those borne of ancient religion and mythology clashing with the speculations of an ever-increasing technological time. For now though, Odin seems to have the upper hand!

Fantastic Adventures, June 1951.

Thumbs up, indeed! I usually don’t like to choose favorites, but this issue of ‘New Love’ might sport my favorite romance pulp cover (notice I didn’t say favorite pulp cover; that far, I’m not willing to go!).

Argosy covers sometimes blend together because the title block is so dominant and unchanging from issue to issue, but this cover depicting a hulking devil with a tommy gun stands out from other issues.

PopKulture has posted:

The cover painting for this pulp lacks a measure of subtlety; instead, the brushstrokes are bold and pronounced, almost as if a pallet knife was used for portions of it. However, the treatment seems appropriate for capturing a gritty, singularly-heroic moment, befitting of a sports magazine cover.

This classic ‘Thrilling Wonder Stories’ cover is vaguely reminiscent of Ruben’s ‘Fall of the Damned’ – at least in terms of its abundance of diminutive antagonists. Our wholesome heroine, set on minding her own business, is beset by a pack of goggled space gnomes! Can you get any creepier than the notion of these little guys relentlessly attacking you??

February 1950

“The Ghastly Future of Man if He Uses the Atom for War!” reads the tagline for Rog Phillips’ “So Shall He Reap!” A thoughtful cover for ‘Amazing Stories’ by Arnold Kohn illustrates a new moral dilemma borne of the 1940’s advances in science and warfare.

Amazing is as good a word as any to describe this spectacular wartime cover for 'Amazing Stories' pulp. A heroic marine in his dress fatigues saves a WAC from an apparently lecherous alien. It's just Sci-fi on the Home Front!

Wonderful cover art by Julian Krupa.
