The Thrilling Covers of Thrilling Wonder Stories


Thrilling Wonder Stories was a pulp magazine that was published from 1936 to 1955.  It was one of several pulp magazines that had the word “thrilling” in its title.  The stories were mostly science fiction and I guess they were meant to be more thrilling than all of the other science fiction that was being published at the same time.  The stories were apparently thrilling enough for the magazine to run for 19 years.

Below are a few of the covers of Thrilling Wonder Stories, done by some of the best artists of the pulp era.

Congratulations to the Los Angeles Dodgers For Winning The 2020 World Series in Arlington, Texas!


Tonight, the Los Angeles Dodgers won Game 6 of the World Series and another MLB post-season came to a close.  The last time the Dodgers won the World Series was in 1988.  It’s been a long and difficult road since then but this season, they played strong and they earned the victory.  Even though I was cheering for the Rays because they were the AL team, I’m very happy for both the Dodgers and the city of Los Angeles.  Here’s hoping that, next year, my Rangers will finally get their act together.

Of course, the real winner tonight was Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.  With the pandemic changing everything this year, the city of Arlington and the state of Texas stepped up and hosted the entire World Series and they did a great job.  No matter what the world looks like next year, every future World Series should be played at Globe Life Field.

Congratulations on a job well done, Arlington!
