"And what did you have in mind today, my darling?"

The Sunday Comics: The Shadow "The Human Bomb!" pages 4 & 5

 

Saturday's random pulp cover: Doc Savage Magazine : "The Secret in the Sky"_May, 1935

 I never get enough of Baumhofer's cover art.  He makes Doc look and feel believable.  As great as the photo-realistic work of Bama is, his Doc just looks unreal.  The guy on this cover is that adventure hero who will go past his limits to get the job done!

Kickin' some Commie butt!

"A more reasonable scenario might include suicide."

 

Midnight in Moscow #4 page 19

 

"Needless to say, Moscow is regarded as a problematic diplomatic post."

"...it's looking like they're on to us."

"You remain a criminal and a coward, Petrotta, so choose wisely."

The Sunday Comics: The Shadow "The Human Bomb!" page 1 - 3

 

Saturday's random pulp cover: Doc Savage Magazine : "The Thousand Headed Man"_July, 1934

 Cool cover by the fantastic Walter Baumhofer.  I see Charlie Chan and Lamont Cranston over Doc's right shoulder.  And what is up with that evil little hand reaching for Clark's face?  You must read it to find out.  Well done, Walter B., your cover just did what it was supposed to do, even 92 years later!

 Next week will be the first part of the back up story co-starring Margo and Shrevvy.

Saturday's random pulp cover: Black Book Detective : "The White Witch"_Spring, 1944

 

Beautifully rendered, if unexciting, cover by Rudolph Belarski.  It appears to be The Black Bat who is performing the voodoo instead of the White Witch.  Perhaps she has him under her evil spell.  I guess one would have to read the story to find out.

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.

"I'm doing the best I can..."

"The rumors are true."

Midnight in Moscow #4 page 1

 

"...rumors of a cloaked figure emerging from the darkness."

The Sunday Comics: The Shadow "The Diabolical Dr. Demon!" page 13 - 15

 

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.
