Pin-Up of the Week: Mr. Anthony’s LOVE CLINIC

Mr. Anthony's Love Clinic

As you all know this section is reserved for vintage magazine covers of damsels in distress. And this week’s installment is no exception. Look at how twisted up in knots our subject is today. Observe the stern finger of Mr. Anthony. Feel embarrassed for the poor schmuck who is most likely, unknowingly, killing all the good in his life.

Yes yes. I know that this is pretty far out of the standard date range in the charter, being from the early 1950s, and I’m sorry for that. I thought from the hairstyles, her hat, and her dress that this was probably ’40s, but a little Internet research has revealed that this issue is probably from 1950.

Pinup of the Week: The Human Bat v The Robot Gangster

Today I’m breaking three general rules about my Pinup of the Week posts. They are:

  1. Must be published before 1940.
  2. Should be a shudder pulp.
  3. Should be co-ed.

But look at this amazing cover from the 1950 Fantasy Library book, The Human Bat v The Robot Gangster by Edward R. Home-Gall. For the curious, the R. stands for Reginald. Best pen name evar.
