The Many Adventures of Captain Future


Artist Unknown

Who was Captain Future?  He was Curtis Newton, who was born on the moon and who, after the murder of his parents by intergalactic spies, was raised and trained by a scientist and two robots.  Captain Future kept the solar system safe from crime and other extraterrestrial threats.  His adventures took place in the distant future year of … 1990.  (At the time his stories were published, that was the future!)  Captain Future headlined his own magazine from 1940 to 1951, with additional stories appearing in publications like Startling Stories and Amazing Stories.

Below are a few covers from Captain Future’s adventures.  The majority of these were done by Earle Bergey, though Rudolph Belarski and Jerome Rozen did some work on the series as well.

The Covers of Real Western


Real Western was published from 1935 to 1960.  That’s 25 years of stories about rustlers, gunslingers, gamblers, and everything else that went on in the old west.  The covers of Real Western all featured typical western imagery, with an emphasis on guns over romance.  These were stories about manly men who did what a man had to do to keep the west wild but safe.

Below are a few of the covers of Real Western.  Where known, the artist has been credited.
