Pinup of the Week: Dime Mystery May 1940

Dime Mystery 1940 05

Looks like one of the main goals of these red hooded secret society types in 1940 involved mummifying beautiful women. See here for a cover with almost the same subject. It took them four months to get her wrapped up, and it looks like Smith retired. His younger ex-pirate acolyte has taken the reins. Good luck to you, gentlemen.

Pinup of the Week: Ten Detective Aces May 1935

So many potential captions for this picture. The mind boggles:

“But Mr. Withers, when you suggested tying me up, I thought we were going to have a little fun!”

***

“Margorie! Why must I keep finding you in these situations?”

***

Professor Smith became certain that there was only one, last, desperate way to get his daughter out of… The Museum of DEATH!

***

“I’ll only tell you one more time! Don’t bother until you’re ready give me an honest apology.”

***

“My stars! There’s a cookie recipe written on the inside of this lid, and it looks great!”

Pinup of the Week: Strange Stories April 1939

Strange Stories 1929 04 April

I love how many different genres are wrapped up in this one picture. First off, I see some definite x-ray radioactivity and mad scientist action going on. Next up, there’s a headless lady mummy body there on the left. To go with the mummy body, we’ve got an Egyptian headdress with a snake on top there next to the radio set the red-cowled secret society member is playing with there. It could be my imagination, but is that Egyptian headdress on a stylized raven head? Finally, we’ve got the grotesque mad scientist assistant. Did I mention dials and knobs? This picture has got some dials and knobs!
