Get an Eyeful Of These Peter Driben Covers


Eyeful Magazine was a pin-up publication published from 1943 to 1955.  Considered to be racy for its day, the magazine today seems tame if not exactly innocent.  Compared to the sultry pin-ups that appeared in similar publications, the pin-ups in Eyeful were innocently flirtatious.  The magazine’s covers announced that the magazine’s main goal was “Glorifying the American girl,” but, judging from the covers, it looks like the main theme was that you could do anything high heels.  Though many artists contributed cover for Eyeful, all of the covers featured here were done by Peter Driben.

My favorite cover is the last one because the cow looks just as confused by the model’s reaction as the reader.

Celebrate Moon Day With The Pulps


by Enoch Bolles

54 years ago today, the first manned spaceflight to the Moon touched down on the lunar surface.  Let’s celebrate this wonderful anniversary with a little help from the pulps!  Not only were these covers illustrated by some of the finest artists working in the business but they also provide a clue as to how people imagined life on the Moon before Neil Armstrong first stepped out of the capsule.
