Saturday's random pulp cover: Black Book Detective: "Markets of Treason"_February, 1944

 Is she trying to pull the dog off of The Black Bat, Masked Nemesis of Crime?  Or is she siccing the canine on him?  Guess we'll have to read this to find out.  I know nothing of the artist or this magazine save the fact that he looks kinda familiar...

Saturday's random pulp cover: Detective Story Magazine : "Mystery's Hand"_May 9, 1931

 This could have been a cover for The Shadow, no doubt.  If anyone who looked at this wasn't intrigued by what this tale was about, couldn't have been much of a pulp fan.  Nice art by John Albert Coughlin.

Saturday's random pulp cover: Doc Savage Magazine : "The Golden Peril"_December 1937

 Nice little moment captured (heh) here.  Of course, Clark will prevail against whatever nefarious group of evil doers is threatening him and the nation/world this month.  That won't stop the true fan from grabbing this one off of the stand and settling in a corner with a glass of milk and thrilling to another adventure with The Man of Bronze.  This particular adventure was written by Harold Davis, standing in for Lester Dent.  Robert George "R. G." Harris is the artist for this issue.

Saturday's random pulp cover: The Whisperer : "Mansion of the Missing"_February, 1937
