Amazing Stories vol. 32, no. 7 (July 1958)

Simple, powerful, tells a hell of a story. Love those dorky space suits.

Multiple figures in space suits, apparently on the moon, look up at the earth which is exploding in the sky behind their rocket ship. Amazing Stories magazine cover from 1958.

A church in Braga, Portugal on a partly sunny day.

Fantastic Adventures vol. 7, no. 5 (December 1945)

This scene would be far more scary if it didn't look like the two were dancing. Also that building is somewhat impractical as I'm 100% sure she could slip between those bars.

A white man in explorer clothing looks through foliage at a young, probably Latin woman and man in native clothing a few yards away; the man is apparently dragging the woman toward a building with vertical bars and windows positioned to make it look like a skull.
Fantastic Adventures magazine cover from 1945.

Astounding vol. 16, no. 6 (February 1936)

I love this one, there's a real sense of movement and the monster is excellent.

Two figures holding torches are funning through a dark landscape with ghostly buildings in the background. An amorphous green blob with twenty or more bright red eyes, approaching behind them is reaching out semi-formless arms to catch them.
Astounding Stories magazine cover from 1936.

Imagination vol. 4, no. 10 (November 1953)

Would the trails of a rocket ship curve like that, or is that the artist going by how it would be in air, not in a vacuum?

A planet is seen below as background to a space station and a rocket passing it at speed.

Weird Tales vol. 18, no. 4 (November 1931)

All of the elements of this are great but the composition is terrible.

Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/WeirdTalesV18N04193111

#Magazine #MagazineCover #PulpMagazine #PulpFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #Art #Illustration

A red-headed woman in head-and-shoulders view looks up apprehensively at a pair of green clawed hands approaching from out of frame. Behind her is a black cat with its fur on end growling at the hands.
Weird Tales magazine cover from 1931.

Weird Tales vol. 20, no. 1 (July 1932)

Most offensive characterisation of a Black person I've seen in the whole collection. Say the word and I'll delete the whole thing. If it helps the artist also can't depict white, people, hair, and has never apparently seen a snake.

Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/WeirdTalesV20N01193207IfcIbc

#Magazine #MagazineCover #PulpMagazine #PulpFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #Art #Illustration

A woman lies prone, her eyes turned toward a ghostly dark hand, or possibly shadow of one on the wall. She's also being menaced by a snake, and a rather offensive caricature of a Black woman is raising her arms in horror.
Weird Tales magazine cover from 1932.

Amazing Stories Quarterly vol. 1, no. 1 (1928)

This is a scene I've seen so many times in this collection: scientists study outlandish [semi] naked creature in glass case. Normally its a woman being examined though so that makes a change anyway.

Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/AmazingStoriesQuarterlyV01n011928Winterc2c

#Magazine #MagazineCover #PulpMagazine #PulpFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #Art #Illustration

Two men in long robes stare thoughtfully at a large glass case in which a naked man can be seen lying on a mattress, connected to a complex machine by wires attached to his arms.
Magazine cover from 1928.

Amazing Stories vol. 24, no. 7 (July 1950)

Very hard to know how much of the artefacts around her waist/arms are part of the artwork and how much are damage to the magazine itself.

Incredibly sexy image but also somehow still pure.

A woman with long black hair and revealing halter top dress and cloak is moving through space in a beam of red light, her eyes closed.
Amazing Stories magazine cover from 1950.

New Worlds vol. 20, no. 58 (April 1957)

This is somewhat confusing, almost abstract, although it's pretty clear the pink things are the bad guys and the captain there isn't happy about whatever they're doing.

Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/New_Worlds_058v20_1957-04

#Magazine #MagazineCover #PulpMagazine #PulpFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #Art #Illustration

A man in contemporary military uniform and life jacket reacts at pink alien creatures with long tentacles, which are coming into or out of some kind of large aperture behind him.
New Worlds magazine cover from 1957.

Weird Tales vol. 30, no. 3 (September 1937)

Let me know if this needs a content warning for "artistic nudity". Not sure "artistic" really covers it. This is a classic Brundage, which is to say wildly exploitative but also illogical and distorted.

Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/Weird_Tales_v30n03_1937-09

#Magazine #MagazineCover #PulpMagazine #PulpFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #Art #Illustration

A red-headed woman, draped with a lace-fringed cloak but effectively naked, looks into a triple mirror, of the type used on dressing-tables for people doing their cosmetics, but instead of a reflection, she sees a red-cloaked demon holding up a cloak to its face and pointing downward, and two cherubs.
Weird Tales magazine cover from 1937.

The Journal Of Science-Fiction vol. 1, no. 4 (1953)

This is very different to everything else in the collection.

It's unfortunate how Nazi-solute that gesture looks, but otherwise an intriguing image. It looks like a photo. Maybe a still from a film?

Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/TheJournalOfScienceFictionV01n041953

A black-and-white, apparently photographic image in which two figures stand looking out of a porthole or lens, on a gantry with a railing. One of the figures has their arm raised at 45º in a pointing gesture.

Thrilling Wonder Stories vol. 36, no. 1 (April 1950)

They look like circus performers, right? Those clothes are decorative rather than practical for space or any kind of military activity. And why are they freaking out about whatever's off to the right when their ship is being attacked right there?

Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/Thrilling_Wonder_Stories_v36n01_1950-04

#Magazine #MagazineCover #PulpMagazine #PulpFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #Art #Illustration

A man and woman wearing clothes appropriate to circus performers are seen gesturing and reacting to something out of frame to the right. Behind them, through a hole in the metal of whatever vehicle they're inside, a space ship approaches, firing beams.
Magazine cover from 1950.

Thrilling Wonder Stories vol. 20, no. 1 (April 1941)

I wrote in the Alt that this is happening on a commuter train and I'm 99% sure that's true but I'm not completely sure. Anyway, I think my main question about this is, who's he shooting at? The old guy? But he's already shot the guy on the floor so maybe it's indiscriminate.

Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/ThrillingWonderStoriesV20N01194104

#Magazine #MagazineCover #PulpMagazine #PulpFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #Art #Illustration

Commuters on a train react in shock as a golden, shining imp/goblin-looking figure wearing armour shoots a beam weapon, its beam surrounded by brightly-coloured smoke-ring-type expanding circles. One person is prone and apparently unconscious on the floor of the train.
Magazine cover from 1941.

Astounding vol. 64, no. 3 (November 1959)

This is a little weird. I find his intense stare a little creepy. And the whole thing where the interesting part is happening behind him and he doesn't look around is kind of "walk away from explosion without looking back" mode.

Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/Astounding_v64n03_1959-11_UnkSc-cape1736

#Magazine #MagazineCover #PulpMagazine #PulpFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #Art #Illustration

A stern-looking white man, wearing a scarf and lumberjack-type jacket, looks out at the viewer. Behind him are pine trees, white mountains and a rocket flying upward.
Astounding Stories magazine cover from 1959.

Amazing Stories vol. 14, no. 5 (May 1940)

I would say that this thing is just a kind of mecha, but it has bloodshot eyes, so maybe it's weirder than that, it's a living creature whose brain has been hollowed out.

Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/Amazing_Stories_v14n05_1940-05_cape1736

#Magazine #MagazineCover #PulpMagazine #PulpFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #Art #Illustration

An artificial-looking humanoid head and shoulders, where the top of the head is a transparent dome containing two people, similar in appearance, one sitting with folded arms and the other apparently controlling the machine with levers.
Amazing Stories magazine cover from 1940.

Fantastic Story Magazine vol. 5, no. 1 (January 1953)

This whoie thing looks like a really serious medical/scientific story until you notice the tiny gremiln. Was it *inside* the guy? Why is it holding up its hands—because it's coming out of his torso, or in more of a "don't shoot" type vibe?

Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/Fantastic_Story_Magazine_v05n01_1953-01_AlexH-cape1736

#Magazine #MagazineCover #PulpMagazine #PulpFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #Art #Illustration

Three doctors or scientists are standing around a supine, apparently unconscious person in a darkened scientific/medical setting. At that person's side is a tiny goblin-like creature holding up its hands.
Magazine cover from 1953.

Fantastic Adventures vol. 2, no. 7 (August 1940)

The colours and composition are all really lively, and the contrast between her and the boring desk and filing cabinets is cool. But her posture is really awkward and for some reason we aren't allowed to see what's going on in her left hand? She's holding a blueprint?
