Description
One of the first key waves of pulp art created in American cultural history came during the period from 1933 to 1940, when a range of provocative magazines sprang up with exceptionally striking, often startling cover illustrations by some of the most imaginative artists of the time. The most controversial of these publications were those themed around terror-mystery, horror and weird menace fiction, a genre which coalesced in 1933 with the inception of Dime Mystery Magazine.
The covers produced for this and similar pulps were mainly centered around images of voluptuous women - scantily clad in ripped dresses and underwear, or even naked - being threatened with torture, mutilation and death by an array of hooded cultists, mad doctors and other deranged psychopaths.
VOLUPTUOUS HORRORS 2 collects 100 full-page, full-color weird menace magazine covers from 1937-1940, presenting some of the world's most lurid and often sadistic cover designs from the golden age of pulps.
