A bit of sci-fi mutation pulp

It has been a while since I’ve run any classic pulp on this site, and as we’re on a brief break between two comics features now might be a good time for some. Over to Imagination for July 1954.

Harod McCauley cover art -- a giant hand reaches for a spacewoman exploring in her bathing suit.

That’s pretty fantastic cover art by Harold McCauley (1913-1977), complete with rocket and ray-gun tropes. Why the red-headed woman is exploring an alien planet in a bathing suit is perhaps best explained only by Faustus’s Law: If you’re pretty enough it doesn’t matter if your space costume makes any sense. Running the hell away from the giant hand at least seems like a sensible course of action.

But perhaps more intriguing is the interior art for the first story, done by W.E. Terry (1921-1992).

A giant space octopus-woman thrashes a hapless crewman. Spaceman versus octopus woman.

A giant topless space space octopus-woman, tentacles and all. Fuck yeah! I bet your puny ray-gun will be no match for her, capitalist space-tool!

And again with the spacewoman in a bathing suit. Maybe it’s some kind of union rule.

This issue of Imagination is available to be read and downloaded at the Internet Archive.

“Beware the Asylum” Fan Art — Karen in the tube

Pretty naked Karentries to protect her modesty while trapped in a tube.

This illustration is the work of Redpulp (a DeviantArt user ID). Please do not copy, reproduce, or alter it without its creator’s permission.

Back in 2014 prolific CG artist Redpulp* generously contributed two fine pieces of fan art based on the then-current Gnosis College story: “Scientific Progress goes *SCHLORP* and “Tubing Marie”. It is with great pleasure that today I can present a similar piece of fan art from “Beware the Asylum.” It’s Karen (I’m aware it’s a “silent” comic so you might not know that, but she’s given that name in the script) protecting what she can of her modesty while awaiting whatever fate mad science has for her. I have to say, Redpulp sure has a deft hand with tube girls!

I’ve made the image above available in full resolution for those who want it. Left-click to view, right-click to download.

You can see a lot more of Redpulp’s art at his DeviantArt site. Visit! Leave appreciative comments!

*At the time he did these pieces, Redpulp was working under a slightly different DeviantArt handle, and my 2014 presentation posts reflect that. The unpredictable Internet-driven drift of colloquial English subsequently conveyed on that handle some unfortunate implications which he understandably wanted to avoid. Could happen to any of us! So he updated his handle to its present form of “Redpulp,” which is entirely appropriate, given that he also takes a lot of inspiration from the great artistic tradition of pulp magazine covers.

Lola in Sybian training

A humorous pendant to the “2044 Sybian Olympics” illustration done by Sketchwork as a bonus for my Patreon support, “Lola in Sybian Training.” She seems to be enjoying it. What country she will represent is unclear, but I’ll take her as a sure bet for a gold medal.

If you like this sort of work you can support Sketchwork on Patreon as I do.

You can get in touch with Sketchwork at Eka’s Portal. The artist also maintains a stream at Picarto TV as well as pages at Hentai Foundry and DeviantArt.

Sybian Olympics 2044

Three women compete in the ultimate global test of erotic endurance!

2044 Sybian Olympics, commissioned by Dr. Faustus of EroticMadScience.com and illustrated by Alexis Pirrate. Please do not copy, alter, or reproduce this image without consent of the creators.

It is 2044, the planet is warmer, the world is crueler, global political geography has been scrambled by secessions and conquests, and a number of interesting new events have been added to the Olympic Games, including this contest of erotic endurance involving an apparatus consisting of a Sybian, a Reichian orgone concentrator, and of course, a tube. Glory to the winner, and vae victis!

This illustration was done for me by Alexis Pirrate. He maintains a professional website, Studio Pirrate, and you can also support him on Patreon, as I do.

The illustration is available in full size (huge, about 14MB) which you can access with a left-click-and-view or a right-click-and-download.

As for the full story behind this strange event? Well, I guess I’ll get around to writing it someday…
