"Time has run amuck!"
 
(As an aside, I thought that the word 'amuck' was incorrectly applied.  A quick search on the interweb let me know that, up until the mid 20th century, 'amuck' was regularly used before 'amok' became the preferred term.  Although this story was written in the 21st century, the tale takes place in the 1930s.  This seems an appropriate use and I applaud Mr. Uslan for staying true to the times.)

Just food for thought

 


Saturday's random pulp cover: Adventure: September 15, 1934


 A wonderfully intriguing cover by Walter Baumhofer.  Certainly makes me ponder if the man is a villain or the hero in disguise.

Saturday's random pulp cover: Adventure: December 15, 1930


 This cover reminds me of N C Wyeth's "The Silent Fisherman" (or any number of the canoe paintings from The Brandywine School's impressive output of early American illustrators) or...


 ... "The North Woods Mystery".

Saturday's random pulp cover: Adventure: March 3, 1919


 Apparently there are no small jobs when it comes to piracy.  Great cover art from 106 years ago.

Saturday's random pulp cover: Adventure: November 10, 1924


 Wonderful cover by J. W. Schlaikjer.  I love these simple, strong illustrations.  Wouldn't it be grand if this type of cover made a comeback?

Saturday's random pulp cover: Adventure: March, 1911

 
An 1911 edition of "Adventure" magazine.  Below is the original cover painting  before cleaning and after.  Love how they painted the masthead into the piece.
 
 
Before cleaning...

 
...and after.
 
Maybe I'm the only one who likes this kind of thing but I thought I'd share, nonetheless.
