Fantastic Adventures Pulp Fiction Covers


In another great posting of pulp fiction art, Golden Age Comic Book Stories featured a series of covers from Fantastic Adventures.  I chose this back cover to illustrate a trend I noticed in this series; namely, most of the aliens appear to be downright cute and apparently friendly.  Based on the back covers, our solar system was thought to be populated by a variety of lovable muppet-like creatures.
