Get him!

This is from 1961 and there’s no way those two men are escaping from “the women-ridden island of last resort.”

This is from 1926, from the prolific imagination of Enoch Bolles. “Figure It Out” has a double meaning, I suspect.

The Risqué Covers of High Heel Magazine!

Posted on June 18, 2021 by Dazzling Erin

High Heel Magazine was a pin-up pulp that run from 1937 to 1939. Though it only ran for a short amount of time, the risque covers have made the magazine popular with collectors of both pin-ups and pulp art. The covers almost always featured a woman who was often either showin off some leg or getting hit by a very high wind, stockings, and not surprisingly high heels.

The Covers of Baseball Stories

Posted on June 16, 2021 by Dazzling Erin

1946

Baseball Stories was a biannual magazine that ran from 1938 to 1954. As the title implied, the magazine was all about baseball, featuring both fiction and straight reporting. With my Rangers currently having the worst record in AL West (25-44!) and only the Orioles preventing us from having the absolute worst record in the League, I have been enjoying looking at the covers of Baseball Stories and remembering back to those days when my team won the pennant twice and made me fall in love with the game. (I still love the game and my team, even if it sometimes seems like I’ll probably be in my 80s before we ever make it to the playoffs again.)

Here’s a sampling of the covers of Baseball Stories. Unfortunately, I don’t have the names of the artists responsible for any of these covers. If you know who deserves the credit, please drop us a comment under the post and I’ll be sure to go back and add their names!
