Giant flies, men with knives, and women in bubbles, it’s definitely the work of Earle Bergey.

Man’s first steps into space are not going well, to judge from this Earle Bergey cover.
Artwork of the Day: Revolt of the Triffids (by Earle Bergey)
by Earle Bergey
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.

Cast A Spell With The Witches Of The Pulp Era
Artist Unknown
Witches were a popular subject during the pulp era, starring in stories and appearing on covers. Sometimes, they were riding broomsticks and other times, they were just casting spells. Whatever they were doing, they were always ready to work their magic on readers.
Today, it’s time to pay tribute to some of the witches of the pulp era!

Beware The Tentacles Of October!
by John Newton Howitt
Are you scared of tentacles?
Whether they’re reaching down from the sky or coming out of the water, the idea of being grabbed and, even worse, squeezed by several slimy tentacles is a scary one! Perhaps that’s why it was such a popular image during the pulp age. Below is just a sampling of some of the era’s tentacle horror, courtesy of some of the best artists to work in the pulps!

Artwork of the Day: Exciting Love (by Earle Bergey)

This is from 1948. I wonder what she’s being asked. This question mark of a cover was done by Earle Bergey.
Artwork of the Day: The Pale Blonde of Sands Street (by Earle Bergey)
“Kate picked up a sailor in Brooklyn and was never the same again.”
There’s so many ways to interpret those words that I don’t know if I should be happy for Kate or scared. Luckily “just 12 hours for love” indicates that I should be happy for Kate, even if she was operating under a time limit. I just like how the blurb makes it a point to say that she picked up the sailor “in Brooklyn.” I guess the story would have been different if he was a Staten Island sailor.
This book and cover are from 1950. The artist is Earle Bergey.
Artwork of the Day: La Paree (by Earle Bergey)
by Earle Bergey
This is one of my favorite pulp magazine covers. She’s got a general, a sailor, a boxer, and Mr. Monopoly all on the same string! Which one is her dream man? I’m guessing Mr. Monopoly because he gets $200 every time he passes go.
La Paree was published from 1930 to 1938. This issue is from October of 1935 and for a quarter, readers could learn how she managed to get all those men on the same string. This cover was done by Earle Bergey, an artist who has been featured on this site many times in the past and who will probably be featured many more times in the future.
