I believe the word "lurid" has these illos in the dictionary. Love the Finlay goodness! Great stuff!

There's a trainload of great stuff in this collection, yet for some reason that Lawrence cover for December 1944 just jumps out at you.

Thanks for posting these.

Great stuff. This rivals even Brundage-era WEIRD TALES for shameless displays of totally gratuitous feminine pulchritude. And Virgil Finlay was a god (have I mentioned that lately?).

Thanks again, Mr. Door Tree.
