Dedicated to the good, bad & unintentionally hilarious covers of pulp fiction novels. These covers usually featured provocative lines of text with lurid illustrations. Pulps also trafficked in stereotypes, so please enjoy these covers within their historical context. You may also see the occasional lady or man bits.
