Marvel Black and white mags.
More for Horror week. Recently a couple people posted some stuff from the Marvel Black and white magazine ( Marvel experimented with more adult themed books in the 70's). Here are some covers.

We got Fangs mutha-fukahs !!

That top is held up by pure evil...

This was a really cool sexy UFO story that I can only assume was the basis for that Eternals relaunch from a few years ago.

Speaking of horror,check out the sexual tension in this ad. That guy is ready jump the poor woman for a big nasty time.

And often those were done by the last great true "pulp" cover artist(who's still alive and even on Facebook), Earl Norem. Another of his:

What I remember, and perhaps this is a codependent love of mine since the point of such covers is, after all to trick you into buying it, is that covers like this all by themselves almost outdid whatever could be inside. I like this picture far, far better than I ever could the movie.

	Agreed on the covers of comics and pulps 99.9% of the time outdoing what was inside. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I wonder if bringing back this style might help sales. Covers just seem so generic anymore, they're like stock poses of Spider-Man or Superman that don't lure you in with a promise of a wild story inside. (Reply to this) (Parent)
