Wow, saucy is an understatement. If they thought comics were corrupting the morals of teenage boys, I can only imagine what they thought when this cover hit the newsstand!

Great pulp!

I'm trying to figure out what that top is that she's wearing.  Don't think I've ever seen one of those before but I'll keep on the lookout from now on...

I believe they call it a "ribbon." And it's a very small one...

Keep showing pictures of pretty girls on pulps and I might have to stop selling my pulp collection.

To think 95% of those painting ended up in the trash. So sad.

It's a tragedy they got trashed :( I would love to visit a museum that displayed these Modern Art classics.

 

This run has some awesome covers, including this incredible Virgil Finlay.

Nice covers.  Finlay was really good.

I see one of those has a story by C.S. Forester.  He wrote the Horatio Hornblower novels, which I read years ago and really enjoyed.

I haven't read any of the Hornblower novels (the made for TV movies were great watching), but I know they were the inspiration for Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe series, which I have read and loved.

Also the inspiration for Star Trek.  Roddenberry pitched the show (and Captain Kirk) as "a space-age Horatio Hornblower".  And Nicholas Meyer, who wrote and/or directed Star Trek II, IV, and VI saw them as Hornblower in space as well.

I'm a sucker for this cover. Probably because I have a nice shadow comics 4 that swipes it. I drooled over detective35's copy.
