Oh, those silly Damsels! Nowhere did they get into so much distress as in the Pulp Magazines. You'd think that they'd learn to stay off those covers! Starting in the 1930's, these ladies were faced with a challenge the likes of which the world has never seen ... before or since. It was dubbed "Weird Menace," and it saw our scantily-clad heroines faced with mad scientists, leering apes, dripping hypodermic needles, chains, ropes, buzz-saws, giant insects, vampires, monsters, crazed hunchbacks, and a list of maniacal instruments of torture that would make Rube Goldberg green with envy. In many cases, the bad guys seemed to have only one goal in life, and that was to terrorize beautiful women in ever more bizarre ways. NOTE: These magazines are often extremely expensive for today's collectors to acquire. While many of the images you see here were sent to me by regular contributors of cover scans, the vast majority of them had been gleaned from internet pages across the spectrum of the World Wide Web. With most of these, I'm not sure who to attribute the scans to. For that reason, I have left off contributor information. I have also left off the magazines' issue data. To see that, click a thumbnail and look at the very end of the picture's web address ... just before the ".jpg." The long number you see there will be the publication's issue date: year first, then month (and finally the day, if there was one). So, the magazine seen above would be "TerrorTales193901," or "1939 January." If you saw something like "argosy19330905," that would translate to: "1933 September 5th." Make sense? Enjoy.
