The Incredible Pulps

Phantom creatures, alien encounters, grizzled heroes, and maidens in distress were the staples of the golden age of pulp art. These colorful characters are the stars of this exciting visual tour of a once-thriving popular art form. Divided into four categories science fiction, mystery, horror, and western/adventure the book features a wealth of magazine covers and other pulp fiction images by such legends as Edd Cartier, Frank R. Paul, Walter Baumhofer, and others who brought monsters and maidens to appreciative audiences from the late 19th century into the mid-20th. Pulp collector Frank M. Robinson offers context and history for these campy, over-the-top images from a long-vanished era.
