I have a seafood allergy so I can definitely relate to this July 1957 Fantastic magazine cover painted by Leo Summers that depicts a giant lobster bothering a sunbather on the beach.

  1. 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.
  2. Is this woman really big or the spaceship really small? In either case, I suppose that means the magazine is well named – Fantastic!
  3. The memorable artwork of the legendary Norman Saunders graces the cover of this April–May 1939 issue of forgotten pulp magazine Marvel Science Stories.
  4. Kay Rogers didn’t have many short story credits to her name, but Letter to a Tiger was the cover story for this October 1953 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction with art by the incomparable Emsh.
  5. I can see myself spending a lot of time with the Pulp-O-Mizer, a customizable pulp magazine cover generator, http://t.co/NTDGtibi
