Starting in 1932, Margaret Brundage, wife of leftist revolutionary Slim Brundage who she met at the wildlybohemian Dil Pickle Club during the Chicago Renaissance forever changed the look of Fantasy and Horror with her alluring, sensationalistic covers for the legendary pulp magazine, Weird Tales. Brundage, whose art contemporaries include Virgil Finlay and Hannes Bok, is unique as she was the first female cover artist of the pulp era. Decades before the gothic fetish craze, Brundages lush, provocative paintings, which frequently featured smoldering, seminude young women bearing whips, became a focus of acute attention and controversy. At the very peak of the notorious pulps classic run, the magazines appeal was due as much to Brundages covers as to the stories inside by famous authors H. P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, Robert Bloch and Conan creator, Robert E. Howard. Long before Frazetta, it was Brundage who was the very 1st Conan cover artist. The Alluring Art of Margaret Brundage is the premier book devoted to this noted artist and features all of her Weird Tales and Conan covers. Authors Stephen D. Korshak and J. David Spurlock follow their seminal collaboration, The Paintings of J. Allen St. John Grand Master of Fantasy, with The Alluring Art of Margaret Brundage which, also features essays by noted artist Rowena, Weird Tales historian Robert Weinberg, FirstFandom member / Shasta publisher Melvin Korshak, and Mens Adventure Magazines: In Postwar America coauthor George Hagenauer. THE VILLAGE VOICE said 12112013: Brundages menaced damsels were sleek eye candy, but this book reveals politics advocating for gender and racial equality as well as labor rights at a time when activism led to blacklisting that prove that the Queen of the Pulps was as brave as any of her titillating heroines.
