The Spectacular Covers of Startling Stories

Posted on October 5, 2022 by Dazzling Erin

by Earle Bergey

Startling Stories was a sci-fi pulp magazine that ran from 1939 through 1955. It went through many different editors and formats during that time but one thing that was always consistent was the quality of the magazine’s covers. Though most of the covers were done by Earle Bergey, a few other notable pulp artists also made contributions to the magazine. Below is a small sampling of the spectacular covers of Starting Stories!

The Creepy Covers of Tales of Magic and Mystery

Posted on October 1, 2022 by Dazzling Erin

Tales of Magic and Mystery promised readers a look into the world of the unknown but, despite that, it had a short print run. The first issue came out in December of 1927. Four issues later, the series was canceled in 1928. The series only ran for five issues but those five issues feature five of the best and most surreal covers that I’ve ever seen. Unfortunately, the identity of the artist responsible for these covers is not known but they certainly make an impression.

Here, to help kick off October and Through the Shattered Lens’s annual celebration of all thing horror, are the five covers of Tales of Magic and Mystery!
