Artwork of the Day: Hill Man (by Julian Paul)


by Julian Paul

This is from 1954 and it looks like it’s the same old story about the farmer who falls in love with the city girl. The farmer exudes raw, animal sexuality with his bare-chested field plowing but that shack of a house has got to go!

This cover was done by Julian Paul. He even signed it, which is something that far too cover artists used to do. Of course, back in 1954, it’s probable no one realized that covers like this would some day become prized by collectors.

Happy World Redhead Day!


by Charles Blinger

Everyone be sure to wish my sister a Happy World Redhead Day!

The pulps have always love redheads, especially when they had a gun in their hand or a seductive gleam in their eye.  In honor of World Redhead Day, here are some of pulp fiction’s best redheads!
