Tumblr favorite #1846: Eerie tube girl

tumblr_n99717EZFG1smuyxxo1_1280

Original post here. This image was researched by Bacchus at ErosBlog as part of the “Δ commission.” The research was originally published at Hedonix as “Δ 014 – Eerie Tube Girl.” Here is what Bacchus found.

This artwork is cropped from the covers of an Eerie Mysteries magazine:

This page suggests that only four issues of Eerie Mysteries ever appeared, in 1938 and 1939. It appears (although the scan is indistinct) that the cover above may be from the February 1939 issue. No artist information seems to be available, although it is known that Norman Saunders illustrated the cover of the August 1938 issue.

Tumblr favorite #1825: She looks healthy enough

Original post here. This image was researched by Bacchus at ErosBlog as part of the “Γ commission.” The research was originally published at Hedonix as “Γ 057 – She Looks Healthy Enough.” Here is what Bacchus found.

This sexy pinup artwork featuring a woman dressed as a schoolgirl getting checked with a stethoscope by a leering mad-scientist doctor is initialed with a stylized “MC” signature lower right. That is consistent with the credit found here to artist Massimo Carnevale. The artwork graced the cover of Italian fumetti magazine Skorpio #38 (25-9-2003):

Artist Massimo Carnevale appears to have an active art blog on Blogspot; it is here.

I originally blogged this image in a post “In the hot seat” at Infernal Wonders. It’s a crop from a cover illustration for the magazine Detective Line-up (August 1952). You can see the whole cover in the original post.
