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!

No, it’s not a sequel to The Day of the Triffids. Instead, it’s The Day of the Triffids with a new title. I guess Revolt was considered to be more exciting than Day. This cover was done by Earle Bergey.
