Love the covers to this pulp, but the first one you have here is masterful. Pure, high-octane melodrama. And beautifully painted-- just look at that cross-lighting.
Everytime I see a cover like that, I just feel a lot better about things in general.
I agree, that first cover is by far the best. Most art from the 30s was superior to that of the 40s, for some reason. The artist on that one was Tom Lovell.

Yep, nothing like a good Yellow Menace pulp cover.
I'm with John, But for a title with strenght, i go with "Xase of the Climbing Corpse".
Yep, tremendous art in the first.
Something about the old pulp style art really hits you at the emotional level. They knew what they were doing.
