How about some vintage weirdness?
>>17606895
Well ok then.
This one is actually from an article by H.G. Wells. It shows what he believed to be the common man in a million years time
This one still rustles my jimmies.
Just some land octopi attacking a hunting party.
Anyone else?

I wish pulp made a comeback.
Imagine if instead of tabloids talking about actors you could pick up a 1.50 horror/sci-fi serial novel.
>>17607684
Maybe someone could start a crowd funding campaign, or a consensus or something.
This sure ain't thriller.
>>17607690
I think pitting together an actual publishing house and marketing the books to supermarkets would work better, though it's beyond the scope of this place.
If I were wealthy I'd be interested in pursuing the idea though.
>>17607706
Could pitch it to someone, but who?
>>17607723
>>17607710
See >>17607719
There's no one left to sell to.
Best bet would be doing like a local thing, but even that's too cost prohibitive for anyone without money...also too much of a niche market.
>>17607719
Would a website work?
Also, millennial here. I can read a long story, it just has to be something I'm interested in. "Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath" is a good example. Even though I got busy and never finished the book, I still remember bits and pieces of the story.

If you are a millenial you CAN'T read, you clearly didn't read the article.
>>17607750
I mean it could, but the idea is to just make little throwaway books that you pick up on the newspaper racks, like the pulp books of the 20s and 30s

I can't help but imagine this picture redone in anime style, with moe catgirls instead of 1940s furries.
Also, vagina Jupiter again. I think it's intentional.
Great thread, thanks.
>>17611213
Freud would be proud.
>>17611279
I've read that artists of the period were very fond of slipping in sexual references as a sort of form of social rebellion, so I suspect these guys knew exactly what they were doing when they put Jupiter sideways.
Evidently you'll find a lot of phallic symbols and implied homoeroticism too, because it was right at the start of the gay rights movement and many kitch artists were as queer as a three dollar bill.
>>17611371
Well that explains a lot.

This is a thing, too.

"Justice Skeletons", thought I guess "The Skeletons of Justice" would be more literal and sounds better. Cool pics either way.

"Impossible Dream" from "Weekly Horror"-- Wow, love that art.

Picked this up for $4 at a flea market. It's actually worth up to $50. The main article is total fallacy.

every single picture contains some form of trauma.
because trauma is entertaining for you
er....
>>17621841
It was entertainment back then. I just like the art style used in these older covers. It's like listening to the old War of the Worlds broadcast, you know what happened, but it was still good for the time.

I fucking love 40 -50's pulp art so much. Keep it up.
>>17606909
The cover of a story about fish people breeding with humans contains a fish raping a human. Sounds about right.
>>17624985
I think it's carrying them off, so implied rape.
>>17621841
You find what you are looking for, in these early freudian years.
Some of the ideas looked far fetched but now they just look old, it's amazing to find the connection between this magazines and modern science.
>>17616121
if you want the literal translation, its "The Skulls of Justice"
Calavera specifically means Skull. Skeleton = Esqueleto

marketing to supermarkets isn't the way to go considering the state of print media
but a pulp blog that hosted works by a variety of people (both art and stories) could go a long way and is definitely within the grasp of 4chan
