Popular Post RedFury Posted July 16, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2020 Women with wolves was a recurring theme on the covers of Weird Tales. I wonder if this was a conscious decision by Wright, or just happened because there were a lot of werewolf stories?

RedFury Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 Thanks Pat. I've been wanting to get that Munn book. Here are three of his werewolf cover stories, all part of his Werewolf Clan series.

Popular Post Pat Calhoun Posted July 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) I knew you'd come through, Red, and I know I expanded the original WT women & wolves subset, but it was fun, and -not trying to muddy the waters further- now I can't resist the urge to post Virgil's vision of the greatest witch and wolf lover of them all, Lur, from Dwellers in the Mirage...

gunsmokin Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Does anyone know if this stuff is public domain? I’d love to have some of these blown up for display. Would make for some great Halloween decor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would make for some great Halloween decor. The first couple years are definitely public domain; anything from 1924 or earlier. As to the rest of the issues, I believe MOST of them are. I do not think the magazine ever renewed itself, and many of the authors did not. There could easily be individual stories or pieces of art that were renewed separately, however. Certainly most if not all the issues are available for download at the internet archive. But I am absolutely not an expert, and if you're doing anything for commercial use I would be very careful. Personal use should be fine, even if the items are not public domain. Also, if you want, I would be happy to get you higher resolution scans of any of the stuff I've posted, if that will help you blow them up.

Sarg Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 The only cover for WT by Gretta (J. Clemens Gretter), who, seven years earlier, drew the first science-fiction story in comic books (New Fun #1). This was yet another uninspired cover to "The Unique Magazine," and even in death, Lovecraft had to suffer the ignominy of losing the cover illustration to the far inferior hack Seabury Quinn.

Popular Post Sarg Posted July 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2020 Fortunately, Hannes Bok's superb interior illustrations made up for the bland, non-HPL cover. jimjum12, Zolnerowich, comicjack and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjum12 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Thought I'd point out a couple of VERY nice issues of the title on @blazingbob the www.highgradecomics.com website. The Brundage "wolf girl" cover is such a classic and also contains, iirc, "Tower Of The Elephant".
