Pulp Art recreations XIII: Damsel, mads, ape

Introduction

Another pulp recreation by Frans Mensink. I feel a sense of ambiguity about the ape’s motivations here. Is it another menace, or an enraged rescuer?

This is a crop from a cover of Mystery Novels and Short Stories (November 1939).

The artist is William F. Soare (1896-1940). I wasn’t able to find too much on him, but he does have The Field Guide to American Pulp Artists, whence I found the image above. I originally blogged the image in a post An injection, then…” at Infernal Wonders.

Introduction

Another illustration by Niceman. As you can see when comparing it to the source, he took the material in quite an interesting direction.
