Pulp Fiction Art

[Rob_Royale]

One of my guilty pleasures, when I'm doing some story brainstorming, is to peruse old pulp fiction book covers or cover art. It was some great sexy stuff. Lots of fun ideas. If I ever get to publishing where I need a book cover, I'd love to find someone who can do this sort of stuff.

Love these pics! The early Mad comic artists Wallace Wood and Jack Davis cut their teeth on pulp fiction covers,

I was just thinking yesterday that I really wish I could find a way to make that retro/fazzetaish style of sci-fi/fantasy art. But i honestly don’t even know what the style is called.

I have been told that AI is actually pretty good at making these kind of images. The name of this style is unknown to me too.

It's called pulp fiction art? I don't think it's really gone anywhere, it's just kept up with the times. It has a review instead of a byline, but I have this book and it seems to carry on the style.
