If you're up for some Halloween reading, the only If you're up for some Halloween reading, the only place you'll find Norman A. Daniels' 'The Lady is a Witch' story is in this March 1950 issue of Startling Stories. It was never reprinted anywhere else. As for the cover painting, no artist is attributed to it so it's anyone's guess.
Justin Case? That is obviously a pen name and it h Justin Case? That is obviously a pen name and it happens to be one used by the ever prolific Hugh B. Cave. The cover painting of this February 1942 cover of Spicy Mystery Stories is by Harry Parkhurst and you get to compare what the original looked like.
The May 1951 cover for Future is another in the lo The May 1951 cover for Future is another in the long line of women in space without a spacesuit with a man alongside her in a suit. I guess they are immune to the vacuum of space. This image is painted by the always prolific Leo Morey.
A portrait of ‘Buck Rogers in the 25th Century’ is a bold design choice in my bathroom at the Graduate Hotel in Fayetteville, Arkansas. I wonder how many guests that are not me have any idea who this is or have ever even seen the show.
There's no truth to the rumour that Mel Hunter's c There's no truth to the rumour that Mel Hunter's cover painting for the October 1956 edition of 'If' inspired James Cameron when he dreamed up Avatar's blue-skinned Na'vi.

As an added bonus, you can also swipe through to see what the original painting looks like!
Who else could have painted this cover of the Apri Who else could have painted this cover of the April 1934 issue of Weird Tales than the unmistakable Margaret Brundage?
Simple yet effective, this colourful cover for the Simple yet effective, this colourful cover for the April 1949 issue of Famous Fantastic Mysteries was painted by the always prolific Lawrence. I had to look up Edison Marhsall and Elmer Brown Mason. The former penned only a handful of stories, mostly in the 30s, and the latter was equally obscure, only publishing a few stories during the First World War.
