I’ve been on a bit of a run on science fiction pulp covers of the 1930’s-1960’s, and I’ve collected some in this catch-all category of “Huh?”  These are wonderful images, and I have no idea what they represent, except that the image transcends its intent, in a way, and stands strongly for itself in some sort of Found Absurdist kinda way.  And once you look at it, most of all that one can say is “Well, there it is”.
