It's true. I'm incapable of three word Subjects. Today, I was doing a bit of cleanup on one of the Illustrator/Cover Artists from long ago, and found a site devoted to the old days. It's filled with an amazing wealth of detail about the artists, and I'm probably the last to know about it. I spent a while looking at it, and then decided that I ought to share it.

I'd been looking for information on Ed Valigursky, an illustrator from the Golden Age of pulps, and ISFDB pointed to Pulp Artists. The site is a labor of love, and an homage to all those that made us want to pick up yet another paperback from the bookstore.

Worth pointing out the site is not only SF pulp but all genres, e.g. crime and horror and fantasy illustrations are as well documented as the SF stuff.

I haven't visited that site but strongly suspect I've been seeing the work done there on other sites borrowing from it.

Is a great resource for covers of older books.
