Saturday's random pulp cover: Doc Savage Magazine : "The Fantastic Island"_December, 1935

 This cover really reveals nothing to the casual observer.  Two attractive people, possibly swinging from a red velvet curtain either inside or outside.  The staircase doesn't tell us much.  Plus the poor registration for this particular print and I can't really say too much, good or bad, about this.  Standard Baumhofer, not superlative.

"...the walls do have ears."

 

Remember the fallen

 In these trying times let us not forget the brave Americans who gave their lives for us and the generations to come.  May we not add to their numbers.

Saturday's random pulp cover: Doc Savage Magazine : "Land of Always Night"_March, 1935

 Another superb cover from Walter Baumhofer, this time showing Doc in real peril as tiny arrows seek to bring the Man of Bronze down from his precarious perch high above the strange city.

  I seem to be on a Doc Savage bender with these covers, but they are just so darned good!

"Every wall has ears, comrade..."

"She's running!"

"Margo is as much an international cosmopolitan as her master."

Midnight in Moscow #5 page 8

 

"One can't remain a girl forever, after all, and time does take its toll."

Midnight in Moscow #5 page 7

 

"Such ideologues exist on both sides of Mr. Churchill's curtain, my friend."

Alright, fellow gluttons for punishment.  We are starting the downhill portion of this series.  Only 4 issues of the 8 are left and I am going to push through... just for you.
 

Saturday's random pulp cover: Doc Savage Magazine : "The Black Spot"_July, 1935

 What can one say about this truly heroic cover.  Doc at his best.  I find it interesting that he is doing his he-man hero bit and at the bottom of the cover there is a tag for "Doc Savage Exercises" that will be published inside.  What preteen boy wouldn't rip this from the newsstand and race home to see if he could one day be that cover hero.

Ep_16_The Knife of Death

Midnight in Moscow #5 page 6

 

"Comrade, is it now, Konstantin?"

Midnight in Moscow #5 page 5

 

"You were always a tool, never a craftsman, Saint."

 

Midnight in Moscow #5 page 4

 

"Lena, my darling..."

Midnight in Moscow #5 pages 2 & 3

 

"Especially decadent, indeed."

Midnight in Moscow #5 page 1

 

"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!

Ep_15_The Secret Room

Kickin' some Commie butt!

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

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

Midnight in Moscow #4 page 17

 

"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!
