Horror art – Early sci-fi and horror ‘pulp’ magazines

Here are some of my favorite covers from early ‘pulp’ horror and sci-fi magazines. These were the small press publications that featured fiction short stories by HP Lovecraft, August Dereleth, Robert Block, and others, before they were well known and their stories were collected for anthologies. Publications like these were around from the 1920’s to the 1970’s.

The giant robot image was later used for a Queen album cover – News of the World

  
HP Lovecraft………………….H.G. Wells (war of the worlds)

 

Weird Tales still exists today… These are some of the earliest issues:

  
HP Lovecraft in this one ……………………………………Robert Bloch

 
Doctor Satan!

Some of these issues are still around to purchase. I own a few myself. If you are interested in collecting, check out ebay and other great sites for collectable magazine fiction.
