I've had several posts spotlighting some pretty amazing pulp covers, and have had several requests to provide a look inside. As with B movie posters and carnival attractions, sometimes the art tantalizes you to take a peak, but typically leads to disappointment. Indeed, if the magazine even comes close to living up to its breathtakingly lurid cover art, it's a rare find well worth the time.
Here's a few pulp rags scanned from cover to cover for your reading pleasure. Enjoy.

Again, the boob warning still stands
Thanks for the share! I always wanted to find out what lurked beneath these covers.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDelete@Dex - Unfortunately, what lurked beneath the covers was never quite as good as the cover itself.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy them nevertheless!
Thank you very much! For my part, i think what's inside these mags is (kind of) as "good" as the covers, we would not want high-brow literature there anyway!!!
ReplyDeleteSomething else i would love to see is a site dedicated to pulp pocketbooks, but with the actual stories, not the covers only. As for magazines, we may be disappointed, but right now, i feel like we are being shown album covers without never getting to hear the music!!! Thanks for your great blog.
I am so glad that the Million Mom website has called for a boycott of the new show, "Playboy."
ReplyDeleteI can't think of what would happen to this country if those "sexist" images are left unchallenged.
Fortunately, there has never been a time in our past when women were ever so "objectified."
This seems a new phenomenon. Probably because of President Obama.
What was this post about again?
