Saturday's random pulp cover: G-8 & His BATTLE ACES : "The Squadron of Death Flies High"_December, 1942

I'd love to love this cover, but I just can't. Exciting? Undoubtedly. Enticing? For sure. So why don't I like it? The figure at the bottom of the cover is just that, riding the bottom edge of the cove

Saturday's random pulp cover: G-8 & His BATTLE ACES : "Death to the Hawks of War!"_January, 1941

Saturday's random pulp cover: The Spider : "When Satan Came to Town"_December, 1943

This was the final issue of The Spider. With paper at a premium during the war, the third most popular pulp action hero was benched. Only The Shadow and Doc Savage were more popular and they even surv

Saturday's random pulp cover: The Spider : "The Song of Death"_February, 1939

With so much action going on, why do the main figures feel so static? An attractive enough cover but if one really takes a moment, it feels like it has been pieced together. The lady in red is both ha
