A Novel of the Future

I constantly marvel at how the pulp artists were able to create compact compositions with so many elements in one small rectangle.

Rudolph Belarski — Startling Stories — May, 1941

Something for Everyone

In general, there was a pulp for everyone back in the pulp era, from adventure to romance, from sports to gangsters, from sci-fi to mystery, from war to sex, from history to horror, from you name it to you name it.

THIS title seemed to have something for everyone in just one issue.

Rudolph Belarski — All-American Fiction — December 1937

Fighting Daredevils

Boy, those pulp artists knew how to pack a wallop!

Rudolph Belarski —Air War — Summer 1944

Her Lust Caused the Trojan War

This 1948 paperback edition of Erskine's 1925 novel, with cover painting by Rudolph Belarski, certainly must have awakened a lot of schoolboys' interest in classical history. Heck, I'm gonna go read up a bit myself.

Belarski, of course, was a popular cover artist for pulps and paperbacks.
