If you were the town’s bad girl, good for you. You have nothing to apologize for and nothing to confess. Being a “bad girl” is not a crime, no matter what the haters in your town might say. I like this cover’s contrast between the worried former bad girl and her naïve boyfriend, who is probably about to hear “the most shocking” story of his life.
This cover was done by Zoe Mozert, one of the women to make a living as a pin-up and glamour artist during the pulp era.
For some, this week is the start of Spring Break! For those wondering how to spend their break, the pulps have a few suggestions. As the covers below show, a week on the beach doesn’t just mean binge drinking and partying. It also means excitement, mystery, romance, and maybe even a hurricane!

Zoe Mozert was one of the few female glamour/pin-up artists and she was one of the most famous. A graduate of the Philadelphia School of Industrial Art, Mozert began her career as an illustrator in 1932. She often used herself as her model and her illustrations were known for their realistic depiction of women. Along with her pin-up work, she illustrated hundreds of covers for magazines like Romantic Movie Stories and True Confessions.
