Pulpy Sweet Covers

More awesome covers from the 1930s pulptastic "Astounding Stories!" Critter designs are pretty spectacular and awfully original...to bad the quality of the contents rarely rises to the occasion (man, what a jerk!).

Pulpy Goodness

Man, can you imagine the poor bastards having to slap together these paintings for the covers of Astounding Stories...I mean they send you a sentence, and you gotta paint up a weird scene.

A Smugly Happy Robot

This robot looks like he'd be a real jerk, you know?


From "Astounding Stories", January 1931.

A Rollicking Party

Looks like fun, doesn't it?


From "Astounding Stories", December 1930.

Astounding Stories Covers

Some awesome covers from the great sci-fi pulp "Astounding Stories"!


First up, from January 1930, a man fights a beetle while some lady looks on in horror.  Is he tiny, or are the beetles huge?  WE MAY NEVER KNOW (unless you read the story).


From February 1930, a melty puddle monster menaces a prop plane and its pilot. Goopy!


And, from October 1930, a dude throttles a mostly invisible fellow, who apparently doesn't understand how guns work. STORIES OF SUPER-SCIENCE, indeed!
