I think this holds a soft spot in my heart lol. #Alien & #PulpFiction were two of the first "R" rated movies I watched as a 12yo.

They both just really impressed me by having a clever or fresh way to tell a story

Este 15 de septiembre, cumple 94 años,
🖊 Ann Bannon, ¡Felicidades! 🎂
Escritora estadounidense que en los años 50 alcanzó notoriedad, dentro de la #PulpFiction, por la serie de temática lésbica,
📚️ The Beebo Brinker Chronicles
En español, quizá puedas encontrar, todavía, las dos primeras #novelas de la serie, publicadas ya hace unos años... Aunque ahora se puedan ver bastante ingenuas, no dejan de tener cierto interés por lo que representaron en su momento.

I miss the kinetic typography videos that were popular when I was a child.

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?

ich liebe diesen Film immer noch

Ja sicher, Pulp Fiction ist in so manchen Dingen aus heutiger Sicht nicht so ganz korrekt, aber als er 1994 heraus kam, war das gerade um meinen 18. Geburtstag herum und so wurde er zu einem Teil meines Erwachsenwerdens.

Fantastic Adventures vol. 5, no. 7 (July 1943)

Living Girls From Cards! You know how it is.

Astounding vol. 63, no. 3 (May 1959)

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?

New Worlds vol. 11, no. 32 (February 1955)

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?

Time for another Writing the Occult: Time & Place session debrief, and this time it's all that Steve Toase has planned for us on 5 September...

Steve's a fan of the biker books of 1970s pulp fiction - in fact, he often covers them on his own blog - but what can we as creators learn from them underneath all the pulp-ness?

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.

Unexpected … underwater Emo kid? Great, intriguing setup. Nice composition.

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.
