  2. Famous Fantastic Mysteries vol. 8, no. 5 (June 1947)

    Is that green guy another version of the main guy, from a different time? Is he dead and only imagining his apocalypse date with the woman, in a kind of Owl Creek Bridge situation?

  3. Worlds of IF (December 1965)

    There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

    An absolute classic, which I re-read recently. Does it stand up? I'll say … mostly?

    We need Lin-Manual Miranda to do a rap version, just saying.

  4. Amazing Stories vol. 12, no. 7 (December 1938)

    Wow, I'm tired from trying to explain this thing in the Alt text.

    But I always do Alt text, where's my cookie?

    Seriously, always do Alt text people. Even if it's crab-with-snake-arms Alt text.

  5. Weird Tales vol. 35, no. 9 (May 1941)

    Nice scary image. However isn't the doll supposed to be tricked out to resemble the victim as much as possible? If the victim looks like this already, bloated and mostly bald with patches of green hair, haven't they suffered enough?

  7. Creepy no. 99 (1978)

    Very simple concept, powerful image, made a little distracting by the guy in the lower-right corner looking so like Roger Moore, the Worst Bond.

  8. Amazing Stories vol. 18, no. 4 1944 9 (September 1944)

    The creepy bald alien guy (faun? he has hooves?) seems more upset than murderous or angry. The servicewoman he's grabbing is dressed for work but the other guy is in full dress uniform as if he's on his way to a ceremony.

  9. Weird Tales vol. 31, no. 2 (February 1938)

    Seabury Quinn is a weird one. Not surprised this is kind of kinky and BDSM-coded. I perhaps am surprised how she's modelled on Botticelli's Venus.

  10. Amazing Stories vol. 33, no. 5 (May 1959)

    I don't know if having a kind of anemometer on top of a futuristic sniper rifle is weird or actually a good idea to measure wind speed.

    Love the depth and perspective.

  11. Worlds of IF (September 1968)

    Nice powerful image, not sure how the lighting works. The only question is, should it be hurtling toward the earth or has something gone horribly wrong.

  12. Astounding vol. 34, no. 5 (January 1945)

    The posture here is what makes it interesting. Normally falling people in space suits are tumbling and struggling, or clearly unconscious, but there's a kind of intentionality here, as if he's a diver.

  13. Creepy no. 13 (1966)

    That is a lot of exclamation marks, even for CREEPY magazine.

    The werewolf doesn't seem like he's going to attack her, right? Quite the opposite.

  15. Vampirella no. 56 (1976)

    Is that guy coming to save the day with his syringe? I fear not, I think he's on the side of the monster guys.

    The precise location where that left-hand guy is biting her is somehow making me cringe whereas biting her neck doesn't bother me at all. I can almost feel it!

  16. A bargain these days! Can imagine Ben Mankiewicz explaining at the beginning of a Turner Classic Movies introduction explaining how $5 was a ridiculously high price for a milkshake back in the day! 🤣 . #FrightClub #Shiver #PulpFiction

  17. New Worlds vol. 23, no. 67 (January 1958)

    Pretty sure when Russia launched its first manned satellite, they wouldn't have lots of rockets/planes flying dangerously close to it but hey, great image.

  18. #TimeTravelAuthors Message

    True confession time.

    The messages of my novels are quite simple. The message for this one is:

    "#PulpFiction can be fun."

    The secondary message is that fascism is bad, which includes MAGA is bad.

    Nothing deep. It wouldn't be pulp with a deep message.
