Amazing Stories vol. 5, no. 6 (September 1930)

The guy looking out of the window is rotated 15º anticlockwise but the Chrysler building [the Empire State wasn't finished when this magazine came out] is slanted 30º clockwise. This is genius because, which way is up, literally?

A classic of the genre.

Science Fiction Stories vol. 9, no. 1 (July 1958)

Action packed or what? Hard to see how anyone can survive it, anyway.

Astounding vol. 22, no. 3 (November 1938)

I genuinely don't know what's going on here. Jupiter, rotated ninety degrees, fine, but what's happening at the top? It's in shadow but there's a planet visible in the shadow? This is like when a star can be seen in the dark part of a crescent moon, it doesn't make sense.

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.

Worlds of IF (June 1971)

Curious how many space suit designs in this collection have claws for hands. Somehow this was the way they thought it would go rather than gloves?

I love the angle, the drama, the posture, the outlining in red. FallEN spaceman you say, not fallING? Spoiler!

Amazing Stories vol. 20, no. 9 (December 1946)

I love everything about this. Colour, composition, the magnetic-field lines, those red lenses in the helmet. This is why I started this bot in the first place, well done, 1946 designer person.

Astounding vol. 52, no. 6 (February 1954)

These little red-and-white lights are probably inspired by computer/device displays of the time, pre-LED era.

However all I can see is a pop singer on the cheap-ass set of a music TV show.

Astounding vol. 21, no. 4 (June 1938)

That planet is Mars, right? As best people pictured it in 1938. And maybe the foreground is Phobos or Deimos?

I had to look three times at the shiny mountains before I made out the shiny rocket ship crashed(?) among them.

Famous Fantastic Mysteries vol. 2, no. 6 (February 1941)

Love the depth, the sense of movement. Don't love the awkwardness of the figure splayed across the foreground. And where is that urn? I genuinely don't know which of the three distinct planes it's in.
