Across The Years
It's a little startling to realise that this is BOOJUM!'s nine-and-a-half year anniversary. Come June we'll be into Year 10. Conrad thinks his hair was still grey back when we began.
ANYWAY let us begin with a pulp magazine cover only just this side of sleaziness, for which we need to cattle-prod Art into sentience.
Hmmm that's a mighty daring outfit, young lady. One presumes it is gaffer-taped to her skin in order to avoid any <ahem> costume malfunctions. The spaceship seems to be just what Mister Freud ordered, a massive phallic symbol that is either firing a nose-mounted blaster, or it's a giant spike, just to be even more phallic.
I've heard of both authors here on the cover. Leigh Brackett was one of those rarities not often seen until a generation later, that being a female science fiction writer. She also worked on film scripts.
Edmond Hamilton was one of the big names in Space Opera, whom we may come back to.
