A similar composition, Roger Kastel seems to like this angle

Interestingly, I'm finding a lot more eBay sellers listing these with a splash as the first auction image.

Those of us who collect these know that a good splash is a huge draw, but I'm still surprised with the choice of those over a cover.

MAMs not in the pulp area, eh? These are pulps, and don't let the high falutin kind of fiction lover tell you otherwise. P U L P

My complete run of Rage, one of Everett Arnold's sweats.  I've got dupes of some of these and I think a much better copy of the v01n01.  Most if not all of them have splash work from Matt Baker among their other charms.  Natlus would come out with a new series by the same name in 1960.

 

Scanwork of a Baker splash in v01n03 for an early Harlan Ellison piece of journalism as he infiltrates street gangs to get the lowdown.

Really happy to add this one to my collection, it’s the only high grade copy I’ve ever seen!

These late covers remind me of Italian horror movies of the period.

This is a great one.

I’m expecting a copy of this one to be delivered to me today.

It reminds me of this one (though not a MAM)

You don't see this issue very often.

That was to be the cover for "Wolverines Ripped My Flesh," the lost album by Frank Zappa.

Yasssss, love to meet some other collectors of these.  I wish I'd picked up more of them when you could get lots for dirt cheap.  You can find great splash pages all over the place, but there's no doubt the nice copies of the ones with great cover art are a prize.

I'd like a nicer copy of this one:

Worship my missile, ladies

You gotta put the ladies through a wash and rinse cycle before you can get them into the test-tubes.

That would have made no sense to me unless I had not randomly discovered the babes in test-tubes thread just yesterday.

And I'm creating an anachronism and or time paradox here.
Where late 1950s Nazis are:
capturing American suburban housewives
Washing and preparing them for
Travel via time machine to the late 1930s
for proto-Nazi scientists to entube them.

I don't have any hard data on this but it *feels* like most of the entubements happened in the 1930s to mid 1940s.

Not my copy, but one that showed up in my eBay emails. I thought I'd throw it in with the dripping redheads up there. (from MCS, kind of some funky business going on with some sort of printing stutter or whatnot on the left hand side)
