Was the purchased motivated by the ghouls or influenced by the sexy girl in the corner?

I'm guessing the later. lol

I like his pulp covers better usually but anything drawn by Matt Fox is a dream (or nightmare as the case might be). 

The tree "hands" are just the kind of bizarre touch he put in his covers that you need to carefully look at every strange detail to take it all in.

If the Hobbit or Lord of the Rings had been a comic strip at the time he would have been my choice of artist to illustrate Tolkien.

He's being taken down from the gallows. It's a view of the other side. What a weird cover. My favorite of the Fox covers. Love the hand trees. Nice looking copy. Congrats.

Yeah, I don't think his pulp covers get enough love. If they were comics they would go for big bucks but because they are pulps, they are still real cheap. I was lucky enough to stumble into a bunch of them at a flea market a couple weeks ago. Here are a few examples.

He did outstanding and weird space fantasy too.

This has a unicorn in it so my GF is a fan as well. :wink:

I wouldn't have him picked for that one. So used to the weird monster guys.

I don't think many would fault us for breaking the ranks. Here's a few more...

Robot, I've never seen this one before-when was it published, before or after Chilling 13? Looks like he swiped himself; I'm curious which was first.

The pulp is from 1949.
