The Out Of This World Covers Of The Pulps


by Leo Morey

Years before any whistleblowers testified at any Congressional hearings about crashed UFOS and “non-human remains,” the pulps told the world all that it needed to know about spaceships, aliens, and what lies beyond the Milky Way.  Here’s a small sampling of the out of this world covers of the pulps (and one comic book that I included because I liked the cover)!

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.
