I love pulp art - my feeble brain has never been able to wrap around the fact that this sort of material was actually popular in the 30's and 40's. I tend to picture magazine artwork from this time period more akin to Norman Rockwell's Saturday Evening Post.... but this era had a dark side too. Fascinating to think about, but then again I'm easily amused.
I posted recently on the subject of the crack down on these sorts of covers here: http://my-retrospace.blogspot.com/2008/10/comics-code-authority-rip.html
Come take a look when you get the chance. Great site- I will certainly be back.
