RETRO PULP ART GALLERY #1

     There's just something fascinating about the classic pulp magazines and stories. Pulp ran the gamut of many different genres- detective/mystery, gangster, sci-fi, western, even horror.  I love the lurid art featured on the covers, which usually ranged from erotic and exploitative to sensational.  The artwork usually featured half-dressed women in danger and distress, usually being held at gunpoint by some psycho thug on a dark street corner.  In these wonderful images, the city is always dark, dangerous, and exciting.  It's seedy and grimy.  It's alive- full of tough talking broads and hard knocking thugs, hardass detectives and molls on the run.  Danger lurks around every corner...
