Pulp Magazine Bags
Description: Fantastic Novels was an American science fiction and fantasy pulp magazine published by the Munsey Company of New York from 1940 to 1941, and again by Popular Publications, also of New York, from 1948 to 1951. It was a companion to Famous Fantastic Mysteries. Like that magazine, it mostly reprinted science fiction and fantasy classics from earlier decades, such as novels by A. Merritt, George Allan England, and Victor Rousseau, though it occasionally published reprints of more recent work, such as Earth's Last Citadel, by Henry Kuttner and C. L. Moore.
Description: The vintage cover of the August 1946 issue of Adventure pulp magazine features highly detailed and vivid cover artwork painted by Peter Stevens. The portrait depicts a grizzled man with an intense expression wearing a patterned, golden-fringed military hat over a red head wrap, gripping the barrel of a firearm.
Description: Step into the golden age of weird menace with this striking cover art from the February 1939 issue of Eerie Mysteries pulp magazine. The illustration features a classic horror layout: a wide-eyed woman looks on in terror as a demonic, green-skinned villain holds a tall glass containing a tiny, shrunken woman trapped inside bubbling liquid. Capturing the peak of 1930s shock fiction, the design highlights the sensational feature story, "Horror’s Handshake: Sinister Novel of Satan’s Receptionist" by Ralph Powers. It is the perfect vintage decor piece for fans of retro horror, classic pulp magazines, gothic americana, and sci-fi monster art.
Description: The May 1932 issue of Redbook practically leaps off the rack with a dazzling cover by McClelland Barclay, the undisputed king of the “pretty girl” genre. In the spotlight, a glowing blonde in a blue top grins as she cradles a tiny wire fox terrier—arguably the most pampered pooch ever to grace print—against a bold red background that all but winks and wags in your direction.
Description: A classic vintage pulp magazine cover illustrated by Mat Kauten features a gritty cowboy in a flashy red shirt, heroically blasting away with his smoking revolver from behind a fallen log, while a wide-eyed blonde woman looks on as if wondering whether she’s stumbled into a shootout or a very dramatic picnic.
Description: An illustrated sci-fi pulp magazine cover by Paul Stahr depicts a frantic man crouching and shielding himself from an enormous, all-seeing eye glaring down from the heavens, promoting Garret Smith’s early surveillance-themed crime caper, “You’ve Killed Privacy!”—a tale where Big Brother doesn’t just watch, he photobombs.
Description: Amazing Stories is an American science fiction magazine launched in April 1926 by Hugo Gernsback's Experimenter Publishing. It was the first magazine devoted solely to science fiction. Science fiction stories had made regular appearances in other magazines, including some published by Gernsback, but Amazing helped define and launch a new genre of pulp fiction.
Description: pulp magazine cover from the April 1935 issue of Terror Tales features the lead mystery-terror novel "Satan's Sepulcher" by Hugh B. Cave, alongside a chilling visual of a distressed woman in a blue gown surrounded by masked, robed cultists in a dark subterranean ritual chamber.
