The Spectacular Covers of Startling Stories

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

by Earle Bergey

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!

The Covers of All-American Fiction

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

All-American Fiction was a pulp digest that ran from 1937 to 1938.  It featured stories about America and the brave people who settled and protected it.  Unfortunately, it only ran for 8 hours before it was absorbed into Argosy Magazine.  The covers below give an idea of what All-American Fiction was all about.  A few of the covers were definitely done by Rudolph Berlaski but I’m not sure if he did all of them.  (It’s possible that he was responsible for all of them but some of the later 1938 cover don’t resemble his style.)  Belarski is credited for the covers that he is definitely known to have been responsible for.
