Saturday's random pulp cover: Doc Savage Magazine : "The Green Master"_Winter, 1949
The third to last tale published in the original pulp run. The cover is by none other than that master illustrator of The Shadow, George Rozen. Gotta say, I love his work on The Shadow Magazine a lot more.

Saturday's random pulp cover: The Spider : "The Citadel of Hell"_March, 1934
C'mon now! If this cover doesn't light a fire under your keister, I don't know what will. This is a true pulp cover in the best sense. The hero fights Death for the future of his city. It don't get much cooler than that.

Saturday's random pulp cover: Argosy Weekly : "A Grave Must Be Deep!"_December 1, 1934
Okay, this is a great cover. It just begs you to pick it up and be transfixed by a tale of Haitian Black Magic. Zombie Apocalypse!!!

Saturday's random pulp cover: Doc Savage Magazine : "Murder Mirage"_January, 1936
Intriguing cover. I love the color scheme. The technique is beautiful. What's left is whether the tale is any good. I leave that to others to argue. For me, the cover is wonderful.

Saturday's random pulp cover: The Black Mask : "One Hour"_April 1, 1924
I found this bit of fun information on
Up and Down These Mean Streets: The Official Website of Don Herron
"Perhaps the most interesting thing about this story is the editor’s notice that appears at the end of the story:
“The paintings from which the cover of any issue of The Black Mask is made will be sold to the highest bidder. Bids of less than $10.00 will, however, be rejected. All bids for covers prior to this time must be received by May 31st; and all bids for covers published hereafter must be received within 30 days after the date of issue (i.e., bids for May cover by June 1st, etc.). No printing of any kind appears on these original paintings; they make ideal pictures for your den or living room.” "
