Astounding vol. 34, no. 6 (February 1945)

The expressions and the body angles are really intense, against a very calm sunny background. And, you know, knives when this society has definitely invented laser beams and so on.

Amazing Stories vol. 9, no. 10 (February 1935)

Intriguing diagonal composition. I wrote in the Alt that the big guy is firing a blow-pipe at the other guy? Other guy doesn't seem to know which way to jump, so he's doing Walk Like An Egyptian instead.

A man in contemporary flying gear in the foreground reacts as an extremely tall figure with pale skin, wearing a loincloth, attacks with a blow-pipe.
Amazing Stories magazine cover from 1935.

Astounding vol. 43, no. 3 (May 1949)

I don't know what happens next but unless this is one of those hilariously short stories, it's not going to end well for the shark and the alien thing gets to the surface and starts, I don't know, Taking Manhattan.

At the bottom of the sea, a curious hammer-head shark swims toward what seems to be a crashed spaceship, which has a jelly-like creature, translucent with visible veins and a single eye, emerging from it.
Astounding Stories magazine cover from 1949.

Creepy no. 35 (1970)

This isn't 100% creepy and you might even find the creature cute. I keep going backward and forward on it. What do you think?

Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/warrencreepy-035

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

In a dark green forest setting, a human skull has a small misshapen creature standing on its eye-socket, which is using a stick to clean its teeth.
Creepy magazine cover September 1970.

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.

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.

Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/Fantastic_Adventures_v07n05_1945-12_unz.org

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.

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.

@SFFMagazineCovers
Obviously the man had "Hulked-out" and lost his purple pants, along with every thing else.
I checked out the archive, the magazine #Illustrations are in colour, like some #BookIllustrations, rather than the typical #PulpMagazine black and white page art.

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?
