Weird Tales vol. 23, no. 5 (May 1934)
The guy is holding the knife rather noncommittally, as if to say "I have this knife, would that scare you at all …?”
Cannot unsee, her bejewelled bra thingy looks like a goofy bird looking out at us.

He looks terrified and determined, but she’s just mildly concerned. Excuse me Steve, would you mind awfully rescuing me from the flying octopus creature?

Creepy no. 53 (1973)
This is rather underpowered as artwork goes, ghoul, swamp, moonlight, whatevs, until we get to that teddy bear. That's the wrong note. What's it holding? And is it alive? Is it looking back at the ghoul?

I don't know whose side I'm on, Octo-spider-guy or space-gorilla-with-too-much-makeup guy!

Well there's a goddess and there's a volcano, and she's the goddess of it. Pretty simple proposition. Do those figures in the foreground look Tibetan to you?
I love the colours of this one.

New Worlds vol. 10, no. 30 (December 1954)
Wildly homoerotic, or is it just me? Interesting that the chains are white.
Aren't we all just prisoners of our skulls, if you think about it? [Nods meaningfully, strokes chin]

My posts are super political, but my stories are never sermons or op-eds.
I write pulpy power fantasies for radicals and the othered. They're probably not cozy, but they're cathartic as fuck.
Check out my debut novel:
Worlds of IF (January 1953)
Love it. Completely mad but instantly understandable.
Fun fact, the farming term for doing this used to be "broadcasting".
