Worlds of IF (April 1958)

I like the chiaroscuro of this and the drama in his posture and how he's grasping for something just out of reach.

To this day, many people wonder if the Jack Rabbit Slim’s seen in Tarantino’s film "Pulp Fiction" was a real location that could be found on a map. Several of Pulp Fiction’s shooting locations were (and are) real, but the interior of the time-warped venue only existed on a soundstage in Los Angeles. But is (or was) there such a thing as Jack Rabbit Slim's at all in the real world?

Yes. And here they are...

Famous Fantastic Mysteries vol. 4, no. 1 (April 1942)

• Love the dragon
• The woman isn't looking nearly scared enough
• How old is that plane? It doesn't look like 1942 vintage

I think whoever scanned this one must have cranked up the saturation because there's no way these colours survived since 1937 but hey, imagine the effect on the audience back then.

I know this was supposed to be super mysterious and magical but all I can see is a commercial for shampoo.

I have to say the imagery of her pose and the many stars floating around says more night-club to me, but the intensity of those people at the bottom is all witch-hunt.

There's something uniquely horrible about burning at the stake for me, so thumbs down right away, but there's a creepiness about the little girl watching which takes it even further.

Rather dull, in a way, but an interesting design.

Why *is* man's first starship a shuttlecock wrapped in a bandage? Inquiring minds need to know.

Fantastic Adventures vol. 9, no. 1 (January 1947)

This era's obsession with red hair at its peak. Incredibly sexy but also powerful, not like the swooning maidens we've seen so much of.

The horse on the other hand looks rather downcast.

New Worlds vol. 16, no. 47 (May 1956)

This looks like an audition for a futuristic "Idol" talent show.

Have you ever thought how those shows put people through to the main auditions who are awful, just to humiliate them so the audience get a laugh? They do it on purpose and it's pretty cruel.

Astounding vol. 56, no. 6 (February 1956)

I really like how the background posters are truncated and only partially visible but the figure in the front ties it together. "Build with" what exactly? "Bonfire" is the only word which comes to mind.

In Ghana 🇬🇭 when posters can't be imported, local artists will bootleg them to the best of their abilities. Some often are more imaginative than the official studio releases.

#PulpFiction (1994)
The lives of two mob hitmen, a boxer, a gangster and his wife, and a pair of diner bandits intertwine in four tales of violence and redemption.

Wow, that thing is big! Love the sense of scale with the tiny people. Always include people to show me how big things are, sci-fi artists!

There's a nice contrast between the shiny ship and the rather battered and worn launch mechanism that it's housed in.

I absolutely love this one. The airbrushing is terrific and the composition and movement are great.

If I had a note, it would be that I have no idea how big that space ship is or how far away, because everything's so clear. But it's space, it would be!
