Hardly surprising that the concept should have an entire magazine dedicated to thereto. Original post here.

Bonus Image Provenance: I commissioned Bacchus at ErosBlog to research this image further, and he has come up with the following additional details.
This image appears to be cropped from the poster art of a 1980s horror movie variously known as “Hospital Massacre” or “X-Ray”.
The best version of the poster I could find is here:
Several other posters and much movie info can be found at these two sites:

http://horrorpedia.com/2013/02/14/hospital-massacre/There’s a nice LaserDisc cover art version of the image here:

Some information about the movie is here:

The movie itself can be viewed on YouTube:

One of the other posters for the movie has a different but equally colorful erotic mad science theme, so I’m linking the best version of it that I could find:

That’s actually from the page of the artist, Tom Chantrell, but the deep link is necessary because the page doesn’t offer the large image in full:

Given the general pulpy similarity with your image of interest, I wonder whether Chantrell may be the artist there too — but cannot confirm. Chantrell was a prolific movie poster artist, credited with the original Star Wars poster among many others:

Bacchus is actively taking image research commissions, and if you have adult imagery you’re curious to learn more about, I encourage you to visit Bacchus’s introductory post for his image-searching service, where you can find details about how to commission him.
Another in a long series. Original post here.

drakecapterton identifies this as one of his all-time favorite pulp covers…it’s one of mine, too.
Mystery Adventures, December 1935

One of my two or three all-time favorite pulp covers. Pure iconography.

It’s Pulp Saturday!!!
This week: Science Fiction from June 1940.
Cover by Frank R. Paul, best known for his 1920s covers for Amazing and long-running life-on-other-worlds series for that magazine. He helped create much of the iconography of science fiction.
Hollywood could learn a lot from this pulp cover. We need more movies about heroes rescuing babes tied up on giant Bunsen burners at a congress of diaper-wearing, blond-bearded, cyclops frogs as volcanoes rumble in the distance. Now that’s entertainment!
