I really, really, really, really like vintage pulp book covers. The more lesbians and tentacled aliens the better. Having gotten that off my chest, here's an excellent gallery of pulp art I discovered thanks to Ectoplasmosis.

Fascinating -- You can tell roughly when a paperback was published by the price on the cover.... $.95, $.50, counting....

Interestingly, the cheaper the paperbacks get the less politically correct the drawings of damsels in distress get....

BTW, did you know that "political correctness" actually ORIGINATED in the old Soviet Union? (Back in the days when "Vixens of Venus" was going for $.50 a pop -- new.) This is a fact that few people know -- or ever will....

...I just saw a cover in that collection that reminds me of a human female lesbian making it with a octupus (female, presumably) while Cthulu prances in the background. Jesus. Go find it yourself--I'm too scared. ;')
