This pulp illustration by Lawrence Stern Stevens is for the Ray Bradbury story Homecoming, from Famous Fantastic Mysteries, December of 1952, and is one of my favorites. The sky-clad witch is a vision unto herself. Stevens and Virgil Finlay published side by side in these kinds of pulps. Each was unique in style and yet blended together, issue after issue, for a homogenous portrayal of the incredible. Finlay's visions went out among the stars, but Stevens were usually earth-bound phantasies.

it still amazes me how much work those guys would put into a picture that was most certainly going to turn to mud when printed in the actual magazine. and for a fairly pitful sum too. thankfully they did though!
