Pulp Sci-Fi Covers are Funny!

Right, here's a little something extra and it's exclusive to the HTML version of Maggie.

I spotted a number of these classy classic science fiction pulp maazine covers from the golden age of sci-fi, namely the 1930's through to the 1940's.

Rather inevitably, thoughts turned to adding alternative captions to these pictures. The end result is what you are getting now!
