Amazing Stories Volume 9 Number 11 (March 1935)

This seems almost Mœbius-like and charming in its simplicity. Maybe Jean Giraud saw illustrations like this as a kid?

I like it, but I feel like it doesn't quite line up. If we took the sword away, would his features be lined up correctly?

Also is the footprint part of it?

Very hard image to describe for the Alt text. How did I do?

Worlds of IF (January 1969)

The composition is great, showing us the scale of everything, the power of the space ship we're looking out of.

The colours are so much of the time. Was there a whole new printing technology introduced at the end of the 60s?

Weird Tales vol. 7, no. 2 (February 1926)

Somehow, although it's clearly a bolt of lightning, it seems like it's not that deadly. It looks like it's made of something not electricity, anyway.

Is he on a boat? By the docks? What's going on with that netting in the background?

Creepy no. 89 (1977)

Is the standing soldier a monster? He kind of looks creepy, but that's mostly the grimace. Why is the fallen comrade so brightly coloured?

It's a great composition, great lighting. The diagonals make for more drama.

Science Wonder Stories vol. 1, no. 7 (December 1929)

If the guys were just … floating there in the sky, it would be one thing, but they are clearly sitting, in very cheap chairs, and their accoutrements are clearly on a floor.

So they're accessing Poundshop Minas Tirith remotely?

Science Fiction Stories vol. 7, no. 1 (July 1956)

Ugly and incomprehensible, what can I say? Is she in a bottle, or is the shape and the, uh, bottle-green colour giving me that impression?

Literally looks like two different things slapped together at the last moment.

Science Fiction Stories vol. 8, no. 3 (November 1957)

Oh how we love an Evil Plant here at SFMCP Inc.

I mean we don't know that it's a plant, there could be an octopus creature at the other end of the tendril-tentacle, but it's green and plant-like.

Weird Tales vol. 18, no. 2 (September 1931)

Of all the weird stuff in this one, I'm most obsessed by the creature being ridden. A giant tapir? An elongated capybara? A land-plesiosaur?

Weird Tales vol. 9, no. 3 (March 1927)

What a bizarre composition, wasting so much space at the top. I honestly don't know what's going on at the top, just … white and blue stuff. Is there maybe an overturned table at the bottom? It's a unique magazine for sure.

Creepy no. 10 (1966)

Simply terrific composition, you can't fault Frazetta for laying out a scene, and the lighting and colours are all great too.

I would love a huge version of this on my wall.

Amazing Stories vol. 14, no. 10 1940 10 Ziff Davis (October 1940)

Did the robot just emerge from that … landing pod? … and immediately snatch up that poor woman? I don't know about the timeline here.

ED EARL REPP just has to be an anagram, right? The author's name is "Lee Draper"? Yes I have an anagram tool constantly in my bookmarks.

Wow, no idea what's going on, why "toffee", why is there a police officer in underwear, and frankly, how is that dress even staying on?

Hugh Rankin, the artist, had seemingly forgotten all he knew about human anatomy the day he drew this. I'm concerned the guillotine won't even work the first time!

Worlds of IF (August 1956)

No action, nothing which indicates scale, the whole thing is a little static and dull. Also not a satellite? I like the two little armatures or whatever you call them, they break up the image nicely.

Creepy no. 101 (1978)

It's hard to put a finger on it exactly but this guy has a very 70s look, doesn't he? His jawline is a 70s jawline.

I had to look up when the original "Jaws" movie came out, it was 1975. We've all been obsessed by sharks ever since.

Fantastic Adventures vol. 3, no. 4 (June 1941)

I'm fascinated by this one, particularly how she's so etiolated and pale. And how the gryphon has a kind of "I'm too old for this shit" look on its face. Beak.

The alien seems more worried about us than threatening. This was after “Close Encounters” but before “E.T.”.

Worlds of IF (April 1968)

I can't tell if this is in the sea or not, those plants look like seaweed. This style reeks of the late 60s, early 70s. I can almost smell the felt pens it was drawn with.

Weird Tales vol. 25, no. 6 (June 1935)

Oh they thought they were being edgy in 1935 at the idea there were monsters in the movie industry?

In 2026 you're going to have to be more specific.

Weird Tales vol. 37, no. 6 (July 1944)

Wow, lots going on in this one. I can't make out the relationship between the vampire and the skeleton, let alone why that tiny woman has to tightrope-walk the web. The candles look almost like medieval or Russian icon paintings with those halos.

Weird Tales vol. 46, no. 1 (March 1954)

This is pretty unremarkable. It's a classic trope of science fiction/fantasy in this period to use archaic syntax isn't it? Your story is instantly 100 times more classy if its title is "Call Not Their Names" rather than "Do Not Call Their Names".
