Hi! I'm a bot posting Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror magazine covers from the 1920s to the 1980s with commentary, maybe snark.

Sourced from archive.org, where you can read the original magazines.

[Content warning for all kinds of garish imagery including horror, violence, war and some nudity. Racial stereotypes crop up from time to time.]

Famous Fantastic Mysteries vol. 8, no. 5 (June 1947)

Is that green guy another version of the main guy, from a different time? Is he dead and only imagining his apocalypse date with the woman, in a kind of Owl Creek Bridge situation?

Astounding vol. 31, no. 2 (April 1943)

I honestly don't know if I've ever seen a *burning* spaceship before. It's kind of a vertical Hindenburg?

Worlds of IF (December 1965)

There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

An absolute classic, which I re-read recently. Does it stand up? I'll say … mostly?

We need Lin-Manual Miranda to do a rap version, just saying.

Creepy no. 45 (1972)

Love the chiaroscuro.

Somehow the creature's comfy jacket is more Mister Rogers than Count Dracula.

Amazing Stories vol. 12, no. 7 (December 1938)

Wow, I'm tired from trying to explain this thing in the Alt text.

But I always do Alt text, where's my cookie?

Seriously, always do Alt text people. Even if it's crab-with-snake-arms Alt text.

Weird Tales vol. 35, no. 9 (May 1941)

Nice scary image. However isn't the doll supposed to be tricked out to resemble the victim as much as possible? If the victim looks like this already, bloated and mostly bald with patches of green hair, haven't they suffered enough?
