Fantastic illustrations. You've just stirred a memory from the depths - I had forgotten all about it until seeing this, but in about '79 I was given a brilliant book 'Terror! A history of horror illustrations from the pulp magazines' by Peter Haining. Wish I still had it but it went in one of many over-zealous let's-have-a-clear-out moments. I got such a funny feeling when I unexpectedly recognised most of the images you've posted here - and I think they must have been in that book. Maybe I'll have to buy it again...

ReplyDeleteYou're right, C. Recommend buying it again. (We've all been over-zealous during clear-outs)
