The Adventurous Cover of Adventure Magazine


One of the most popular and financially successful pulp magazines, Adventure Magazine ran from 1910 t0 1971, for a total of 881 issues!  That’s 881 covers, all done by some of the best illustrators and artists in the pulp field.  I can’t share all 881 of those covers but I can still offer a small but representative sampling of the adventurous covers of Adventure Magazine!  As you can see Adventure featured adventures that took place everywhere, including underwater, in the jungle, in war, and during the era of the Old West.
