Amazing Stories vol. 20, no. 8 (November 1946)

This is amazing, isn't it? I assume the demon guy is enormous and the woman regular-sized but who knows? And that tail is weird and rather suggestive.

A giant demon figure, red-skinned, horned and with pointed beard and eyebrows, leans down from a throne to address a woman in revealing green clothing with a tail attached. His expression is gloating and her body language makes her seem angry.
Amazing Stories magazine cover from 1946.

Famous Fantastic Mysteries vol. 12, no. 4 (May 1951)

This image is so old and muddy I'm not quite sure what's going on. A huge green hand is holding a sword? A regular sized green hand is holding a tiny toothpick-sized dagger?

Stories with "slayer" in the title shouldn't really be called "deathless" IMHO.

A woman looks terrified in the background, superimposed in the foreground is a huge green hand holding a dagger.

Fantastic Story Magazine vol. 4, no. 1 (1952)

"Why do these rocket-ship-like vehicles need roads at all?", is my first question, followed much more urgently by "OMG what's happened to the earth, it's grey?"!

Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/Fantastic_Story_Magazine_v04n01_1952-Summer_Damaged_ibcbc_El_PM

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

Two silvery curved roads, not supported by anything visible, swoop around each other with rocket-ship shaped vehicles moving along them. The landscape in the background is red, rocky and barren, and the earth is seen, grey coloured, in the sky.
Magazine cover from 1952.

Astounding vol. 15, no. 2 (April 1935)

This one is almost arty, the shapes are like geometric or Pop Art. I can't help seeing that wiggly thing as a giant gummy worm though.

Three silhouetted figures are seen in a glass box on a platform; behind them is a bright star-shaped light or explosion shooting rays across the whole image, with a spiral shape going vertically through it.
Astounding Stories magazine cover from 1935.

Thrilling Wonder Stories vol. 26, no. 3 (January 1945)

The wildest thing here is the giant scary bird, but her shoes are a close second.

A woman wearing metallic brassiere, short shorts and high heels dangles from a parachute, looking over her shoulder as a giant bird attacks a man hanging from another parachute behind her. A tall narrow structure like a radio mast is seen in the sky behind them.
Magazine cover from 1945.

Astounding vol. 19, no. 1 (March 1937)

Wild stuff. One man is pulling the other out? Trying to push him back in? He's covering his face and the other guy's face, but the other guy's resisting? That's an iron lung? So many questions you can answer by reading the story and reporting back.

Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/Astounding_v19n01_1937-03_cape1736

Against a swirling red background, two men are struggling, both of them covering their faces. One of them appears to be pulling the other out of a large cylindrical device like an iron lung or hyperbaric chamber.
Astounding Stories magazine cover from 1937.

Astounding vol. 47, no. 6 (August 1951)

There's something about the eye contact here that's really compelling, but also I can't stop looking at that thing on his forehead. It's a spring? An electronic component? A shiny caterpillar?

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

Against a black background with sketchy drawings of buildings behind and a galaxy below, a young man's head and hands are seen, a leather band with a shell-like metallic device on it around his forehead.
Astounding Stories magazine cover from 1951.

Worlds of IF (October 1969)

Absolutely classic science fiction artwork of the age, I love it. The modernity (for the time) of that Swiss-cheese-lava-lamp they're inside is just perfect.

Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/1969-10_IF

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

In a curved-walled cylindrical structure with multiple large circular holds, a man with his back to us crouches, pointing a pistol at four similar figures facing him apprehensively. The earth can be seen in the black sky above.
Worlds of IF magazine cover from 1969.

Weird Tales vol. 43, no. 6 (September 1951)

I really don't know what's going on with that red thing at his back, does it connect to a rope there on the right? Baffling. As is the fact that his skull face has a nose.

Under an orange moon, a figure in pirate dress with a long-nosed skull for a face and a long beard sits on a treasure chest holding an old-fashioned pistol and a cutlass.
Weird Tales magazine cover from 1951.

Weird Tales vol. 11, no. 5 (May 1928)

We assume she's being carried away against her will but, I don't know. Her arms are up as if celebrating! That could be excitement on her face! Maybe it's more of a crowdsurfing/wedding tradition deal.

A red-haired woman in a red dress is being carried away, her arms outstretched, by two humanoid figures with greenish skin and furry lower limbs.
Weird Tales magazine cover from 1928.

Science Fiction Stories vol. 9, no. 2 (August 1958)

Love it. There's water, there's some weird container up in the sky above an alien city, everyone involved is unconscious, the liquid is about to leak out through the broken window any moment.

Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/Science_Fiction_Stories_v09n02_1958-08_LennyS-cape1736

Various human figures, including an attractive blonde woman in revealing clothing up front, are floating, asleep or unconscious, in some kind of liquid, in a container with windows which are breaking; an alien cityscape is seen in darkness below.
Science Fiction Stories magazine cover from 1958.

Science Fiction Quarterly vol. 1, no. 7 (1942)

Why is her hair curly and his hair aggressively straight? Also of course how is he a tree spirit but instead of his body being the trunk and branches, he's the roots and the tree is formed by his legs. Bonkers.

Am I crazy or are those fonts very modern for 1942?

A woman with flowing blonde hair and a long blue robe is holding out her hand as if casting a spell; in front of her is a supine man whose body is on the ground and whose legs form a tree rising up behind them and whose hand is reaching out as a tree limb forming branches and gripping her skirt.
Science Fiction Quarterly magazine cover from 1942.

Amazing Stories vol. 21, no. 5 (May 1947)

Whoever lives in that bell-jar-ass structure is screwed, amirite? If only you had some kind of saying about glass houses and stones.

Once again the woman's expression is incongruous, it's like "good lord!" or "surely not!" not "WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE".

A woman's face is superimposed in the background, looking on apprehensively as, in the foreground, a glassy, domed-cylinder structure is hit by meteors or projectiles; the whole image is composed of orange and yellow tones.
Amazing Stories magazine cover from 1947.

Worlds of IF (1986)

This is understated and has no narrative content, not even a hint, but it has a brooding, sinister quality which I really like. Somehow the fact that the ships are blotchy, not smooth, adds to the mood.

Two dark blue space ships, cigar-shaped and patchy in appearance, are seen against a bright orange-red planet or sun below, with the horse-head nebula silhouetted in the background.
Worlds of IF magazine cover from 1986.

Astounding vol. 13, no. 5 (July 1934)

This one is honestly pretty dull, I like the enormous screen and the various old-fashioned-looking technology (turbines? pipes?) but really I wanted to post it just because "BEFORE EARTH CAME" juxtaposed with a big creamy splash is chuckle-inducing.

Figures in roman-like robes/togas are dwarfed by huge machines, switches, devices and a screen on which a spiral is seen against a purple background.

Creepy no. 97 (1978)

This is an absolute classic, off-the-hook Frazetta. The man is a legend, no notes.

Except that the people at Creepy decided to put MONSTERS MONSTERS MONSTERS behind his amazing artwork. Shame on you.

A muscular SCUBA diver, in front of a sunken treasure chest surrounded by human bones, is reacting in terror as a humanoid monster with a fanged fish face rises up, lit from below by an eerie glow.
Creepy magazine cover 1978.

Weird Tales vol. 11, no. 4 (April 1928)

Classic Weird Tales cover, in that everyone somehow looks like they're frozen and the scary mummy guy somehow isn't scary.

But hey, imagine being a teenager in 1928 and smuggling this home so your parents don't see it.

New Worlds vol. 11, no. 31 (January 1955)

Love it. It tells a story, it sets the scene, it asks questions and makes you want to know what happens.

Why does sci-fi favour barren desert landscapes? Remember how transgressive it felt when that trailer came out with X-wings flying over water and Jedi facing off in a forest?

Under a bright orange/yellow sky, a space ship is floating nose-up in clear water surrounded by barren rocks, two figures in space suits swimming nearby.

Fantastic vol. 27, no. 10 (July 1980)

I love this one, it instantly brings you into the scene. My only question is, is that dinosaur/lizard creature armoured too or is that its regular body?

A figure in armour holds a spear/lance over its head in both hands, ready to strike, riding on the back of a dinosaur/lizard creature; the whole image dark and in blue-black tones.
Magazine cover from 1980.

Amazing Stories vol. 2, no. 7 (October 1927)

That alien ship is surprisingly hard to describe… it's a red ring with a fin and a lot of orange portholes and an emerald at the bottom? Whatever it is those guys have their telescope pointed the wrong way.
