No artist is credited for the cover of the January 1954 issue of Startling Stories. As I look at it, I’m just wondering why all the men have spacesuits, but the woman doesn’t. It’s a pretty common sight in the cover art of the era and it makes absolutely no sense.

  1. Wish I could figure out what’s happening in this illustration from the cover of a 1947 issue of Startling Stories!
  2. If the cover of the Summer 1950 issue of Fantastic Story Quarterly looks familiar, it’s because the Earle Bergey painting was also used for the cover of the Winter 1946 issue of Thrilling Wonder Stories.
  3. I always wondered how the women on these covers don't need spacesuits. This lovely example of this paradox is by the prolific pulp artist Lawrence Stevens which graced the April 1949 cover of Super Science Stories. You can download a copy of the magazine…
  4. The gorgeous cover of this June 1951 issue of Thrilling Wonder Stories is by none other than the prolific and talented Earle Bergey.
  5. The memorable artwork of the legendary Norman Saunders graces the cover of this April–May 1939 issue of forgotten pulp magazine Marvel Science Stories.
