Classic pulp magazine covers


I want to thank Shaun Saunders for reminding me of this compilation of classic magazine covers.
Up until a few years ago I had many of these magazines in my collection which grew beyond my ability to house it properly. Sadly I no longer haver them in my possession, but this article brings back many fond memories of reading far into the night with one of these at hand. Thanks Shaun.

What a pleasure to browse through these covers! I actually own quite a few of these magazines and don't look at them often enough. Come to think of it, I don't smell them often enough either (if you're a collector, you'll know what I mean).

Colin, I know EXACTLY what you mean. Shaun reminds me of the old digests and now I remember just sitting in my old library, you could almost feel them living.

Paul...I shudder reading that you don't have the mags anymore...as you know, I bought an old collection last year, dating back to 1937. Myriad futures, some wonderful, some scary, most thrilling in some way, just waiting for the turn of a page...

Oh I know Shaun, however it was a matter of space and as the years past, more of the collection was becoming damaged. Under any other conditions, I would have maintained the lot (I had a solid OMNI, ASFM, ASFAM, ODSSEY plus many first editions) It pained me to see it go, but it made me sick to see it moldering away too...lesser of two evils
