Survive April Fools Day With The Pulps!

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

Artist Unknown

April Fools Day is the worst of all holidays and it’s hated by all good people, including me.  Here to help us survive this “gag”-filled day, here are some pulp covers that are dedicated to jokes, gags, laughs, and sometimes pin-ups.  If you’ve been fooled today, maybe these covers can provide some comfort.  If you haven’t been fooled, just remember that this terrible day is not over yet.

54 years ago today, the first manned spaceflight to the Moon touched down on the lunar surface.  Let’s celebrate this wonderful anniversary with a little help from the pulps!  Not only were these covers illustrated by some of the finest artists working in the business but they also provide a clue as to how people imagined life on the Moon before Neil Armstrong first stepped out of the capsule.
