Happy Labor Day!
Let’s celebrate being employed in America with the pulps with these work-filled covers!
With the Fourth of July just a few days away, let’s celebrate the American countryside with the pulps! From the early days of the pulps, life in rural America has been a favorite subject. Here are a few portrayals of that life, courtesy of some of the best artists and illustrators to work in the pulp industry!
Today is May Day, which is known in some countries as International Workers Day.
For those who celebrate, here are ten pulp covers that celebrate unique jobs and the people who do them.
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.
It’s Spring Break! This cover, from 1963, shows that spring break has not changed that much over the years. This cover was done by Robert Bonfils, who we have featured much in the past and will probably feature much in the future.
Where is Sin Beach? It could be in Florida. It could be in California. Maybe it’s Galveston. It’s really anywhere that people gathered to end the sun, the sand, and the skinny dipping.
Maybe it was in New Jersey.
