Authentic Science Fiction Monthly 45 (1954)

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.

Creepy no. 81 (1976)

This is absolutely wild and I love it. How we arrive at this scenario I have no idea. Maybe these are an early depiction of Gremlins.

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.

Amazing Stories vol. 16, no. 9 1942 9 Ziff Davis (September 1942)

This is a curious one. Very shortly after Pear Harbor, we're imagining futuristic planes getting revenge rather than contemporary ones? Nice wish-fulfilment I guess.

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.

Astounding vol. 27, no. 6 (August 1941)

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.

A rather unusual-looking Frazetta, much more brightly coloured and lit than most of his output, but a great composition and sense of movement.

Creepy no. 73 (1975)

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!
