  1. 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, the break up the image nicely.

  2. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. Do people still respond to Lemurian Emergencies? Or has that skill been lost? From "Weird Tales", January 1942.

  9. 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.

  10. 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".

  11. Fantastic Adventures vol. 8, no. 3 (July 1946)

    I'm guessing the bird-creature can throw her off the building, but then swoop down and grab her before she hits the ground? And if it does that then the man won't want to shoot it?

    Watch out for the Gwen Stacey effect, bird creature …!

  12. Astounding vol. 45, no. 2 (April 1950)

    This guy has a very contemporary look, despite being a wizard or whatever. He looks like an Oxbridge undergraduate not a space mage.

  13. Astounding vol. 19, no. 5 (July 1937)

    This is really great. The composition, the lighting, the amount of empty space alone, but the drama of the beam and the running figures is terrific.

    What are they running toward? And why do people always run in a straight line!

  14. Amazing Stories vol. 4, no. 7 (October 1929)

    I like how there's a giant monster right there and the two mis-matched guys are just having a calm conversation about it. Is it eating from a trough?

  16. 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...

  17. 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

  18. Astounding vol. 20, no. 1 (September 1937)

    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.
