Amazing Stories vol. 21, no. 6 (June 1947)I love this, even though I have no idea if those green guys are living creatures or made of stone.Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/Amazing_Stories_v21n06_1947-06_cape1736#Magazine #MagazineCover #PulpMagazine #PulpFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #Art #Illustration

Amazing Stories vol. 11, no. 2 (April 1937)One of those great watercoloury ones which are SF but also rather calm and rustic.Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/Amazing_Stories_v11n02_1937-04#Magazine #MagazineCover #PulpMagazine #PulpFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #Art #Illustration

Authentic Science Fiction Monthly 54 (0000)Nice calm space scenery, no drama, oh well. I wonder what was in the Pictoral Supplement?Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/Authentic_Science_Fiction_Monthly_054_1955-02_Bogof39#Magazine #MagazineCover #PulpMagazine #PulpFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #Art #Illustration

Amazing Stories vol. 45, no. 6 (March 1972)This is wild. I can't figure out what that little Mario-Galaxy-asteroid thingy is. Is it mineral? It looks almost like an internal organ. The body language tells us the person is not happy with the situation anyway.Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/AmazingStoriesV45N06197203#Magazine #MagazineCover #PulpMagazine #PulpFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #Art #Illustration

Blake's 7 Annual 1980 (1980)Not really a magazine, and probably only known in Britain, I'll include this just so you guys will google "Blakes 7" and be treated to a kind of over-serious, grownup-Dr-Who, low-budget TV show which still makes British people of a certain age terribly nostalgic.Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/Blakes7Annual1980scandroid#Magazine #MagazineCover #PulpMagazine #PulpFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #Art #Illustration

Amazing Stories vol. 13, no. 1 (January 1939)"Lots to unpack here". What a cliché.The robot is making a peaceful gesture, but also there's an angry dog on the robot's side? The man is calmly firing a shot which is harmlessly bouncing off, despite the angle making no sense.All that and "I, Robot" as a title.Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/Amazing_Stories_v13n01_1939-01_cape1736#Magazine #MagazineCover #PulpMagazine #PulpFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #Art #Illustration

Astounding vol. 58, no. 4 (December 1956)This really gives me the creeps but I can't say why exactly. No idea what's going on in the top left?Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/Astounding_v58n04_1956-12_dtsg0318_color_mod#Magazine #MagazineCover #PulpMagazine #PulpFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #Art #Illustration

Worlds of IF (January 1953)Love it. Completely mad but instantly understandable.Fun fact, the farming term for doing this used to be "broadcasting".Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/1953-01_IF#Magazine #MagazineCover #PulpMagazine #PulpFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #Art #Illustration

Astounding vol. 54, no. 3 (November 1954)At first I thought this was a giant but then I wasn't sure. Are those pants prison pants? Has he escaped from prison and got tangled in a broken roller coaster? Does whatever he's doing spell doom for those people riding the coaster in the background?Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/Astounding_v54n03_1954-11_cape1736#Magazine #MagazineCover #PulpMagazine #PulpFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #Art #Illustration

Astounding vol. 62, no. 5 (January 1959)I could guess for a hundred years and probably not come up with an explanation for all of this. Is that a real-life drainpipe spilling water on the model, or a model of a six-foot tall pipe in the model spilling fake water?Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/Astounding_v62n05_1959-01_dtsg0318#Magazine #MagazineCover #PulpMagazine #PulpFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #Art #Illustration

Amazing Stories vol. 32, no. 4 (April 1958)I *think* this is supposed to be an adorable story about a space-kid and his new space-puppy, but the expression on his face is creepy, like he's about to send it off into space or experiment on it. Also his dad is bringing a bucket.Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/Amazing_Stories_v32n04_1958-04_cape1736#Magazine #MagazineCover #PulpMagazine #PulpFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #Art #Illustration

Fantastic Adventures vol. 3, no. 1 (January 1941)Yes, that is indeed a robot and it's floating. What's got me puzzled is why it's holding a microphone? It's not a mic stand which came alive, that would be crazy. It's a fire hydrant come to life, duh.Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/Fantastic_Adventures_v03n01_1941-01_cape1736#Magazine #MagazineCover #PulpMagazine #PulpFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #Art #Illustration

New Worlds vol. 15, no. 45 (March 1956)This is a misfire in about every level. The colours are dull, the interesting parts are cropped out somehow and the composition is all wrong, Try harder "Jerry".I do somehow want to read the story just to resolve the many uncertainties this leaves me with.Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/New_Worlds_045v15_1956-03#Magazine #MagazineCover #PulpMagazine #PulpFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #Art #Illustration

Imagination vol. 5, no. 1 (January 1954)Wild stuff here with this Nutribullet of a space ship, with those useless disks taking up space on the fuselage and its firing position inconveniently located in its base where it's likely to shoot one of its legs.Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/Imagination_v05n01_1954-01_LennyS-cape1736#Magazine #MagazineCover #PulpMagazine #PulpFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #Art #Illustration

Creepy no. 41 (1971)This really lives up to the name "Creepy" doesn't it? It's the second eye which really takes it over the top. The first disembodied tortured creature is almost sad, not too scary. These colours just scream 1970s to me.Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/warrencreepy-041#Magazine #MagazineCover #PulpMagazine #PulpFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #Art #Illustration

Science Fiction Stories vol. 6, no. 3 (November 1955)I instantly thought of that classic Twilight Zone episode with Burgess Meredith, but that doesn't appear to be the story here. He's protecting the books from something but we don't know what.Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/Science_Fiction_Stories_v06n03_1955-11#Magazine #MagazineCover #PulpMagazine #PulpFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #Art #Illustration

Worlds of IF (May 1953)I love the incongruity of the dinosaur in this scene. Or alien? Lizard creature? Sculpture/statue? And the urgency/danger conveyed. Are they stealing it? Protecting it?Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/1953-05_IF#Magazine #MagazineCover #PulpMagazine #PulpFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #Art #Illustration

Hi! I'm a bot posting Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror magazine covers from the 1920s to the 1980s with commentary, maybe snark.Sourced from archive.org, where you can read the original magazines.[Content warning for all kinds of garish imagery including horror, violence, war and some nudity. Racial stereotypes crop up from time to time.]#FollowFriday #Magazine #MagazineCover #PulpMagazine #PulpFiction #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Horror #Art #Illustration

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
