MY EVER CHANGING MOODS
Vargas became widely known in the 1940s as the creator of the iconic pin-ups for Esquire magazine known as Varga Girls. Between 1940 and 1946 Vargas produced 180 paintings for the magazine. The art on American WW II aircrafts was inspired by these pin-ups.
MY MONSTER BOYFRIEND
So, I totally stole the title for this tweet from a YT video by the amazing @thelindsayellis Deal with it or enjoy this amazing Frazetta art... and give Lindsay a watch. She is one of us (nerds).
THE PLANETS
If there is one artist who was greatly influenced by the aestetic of the pulps with their romantic notions and their ideas of adventures on strange, far away planets and who himself embodied these ideas and ideals in his life and in his art, his name is Frank Frazetta
FRANK DID IT HIS WAY
Frazetta and Burroughs. WHAT? You want more copy in this tweet? Go and enjoy the art. It will talk to you. And yes, it is awesome!
SPIDER-MEN
The first novels were written by Reginald Thomas Maitland Scott, but they were slow-paced so another author was brought in. Later stories were published under the house name Grant Stockbridge. Most of the Spider novels were written by Norvell Page. Art: Rafael De Soto.
HELL HATH NO FURY
Like the dangerous women in some of Robert McGinnis paintings. Those men who surrounded them should have known better... and probably did. But how can you resist so much beauty? Not with ease, I reckon.
WHEN WE LIVED ON MARS
Robert Edward McGinnis (Feb 3, 1926) is an American artist and cover illustrator. McGinnis has painted more than 1,200 paperback book covers and over 40 movie posters (including those for the movies Breakfast at Tiffany's, Barbarella and several Bond films).
A WELL-OILED MACHINE
Norman Saunders produced 867 pulp and paperback covers between 1935 and when he retired in 1960. That is the highest output of any pulp artist and this is in addition to trading cards and other commercial art he created. I present to you his art without copy.
IT AIN'T OLD SCHOOL IF IT'S STILL TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL
Robert Gibson Jones (1889-1969) was the original Steve Rogers. Rejected during WW I as well as WW II as unfit for duty, he worked as a commercial artist in the 20s and 30s. In 1943 he began a new career: pulp cover artist!
