Small Press Cover Ark « Thread Started on Dec 21, 2007, 9:05am »
THE BASER PULPS
Two by two into the ark... Pre-2000 mags only, please. Please add your own pairs. Most of the covers start on page 2 of this thread. Any covers posted by 'Weirdmonger' (Nemonymous) are DFL Contributor copies.
... this is not intended to be a systematic, historic document but a vehicle (ark) for wild animals, for a splurge of the baser pulps, a hunger-deck cresting the zinic-routes of black imagination, where the enjoyment is random, browsing the 'orrorfaces of yesteryear, white-water rafting, even wading through unexpected dream zones, a colour symphony of images... To find some would be to lose others.
Twisted Magazine #1 1996 Tales of Horrific Strangeness Cover: Chad Savage Editor: G Keith Burgin (BlackSoul Publishing) Work by John B Rosenman, Jeff Strand, Michael Huyck, DFL, Dietmar Trommeshauser, Norm Partridge (interview) and others.
Dagon #26 1989 Front Cover: Jeff Salmon (illustration of 'Wall Pack') Back Cover: Martin McKenna (illustration of 'Etepsed Egnis') Editor: Carl T Ford (Dagon Press) Stories by DFL and DFL Bibliography, plus 'Etepsed' by PF Jeffery, 'Brewing up with Des Lewis' by Mark Samuels, a photo in 1967 of DFL and PFJ with 'The Egnisomicon', & a photo in 1989 of DFL, PFJ and MS on cemetery park bench. Dagon became a long-running, award-winning mag that started life in the mid-eighties as a Call of Cthuhu RPG mag.

Beauties all, and a great subject for a thread. As you've maybe noticed, when it comes to my fave vamp-zines the artistic talent is perhaps a little cruder, but I'll have a look see what I can dig up.
I was gonna add ade's cover for the latest PF but once I posted it I noticed your strict pre-2000 stipulation!
From the first, I set myself against "literature"; the story was the thing, and no amount of style could persuade me to select a story that lacked genuine, unadulterated horror. For those who wanted something high-brow there was plenty.

I put the pre-2000 stipulation to avoid lots of people purely advertising current mags here - as I have alerted the world to this thread link elsewhere. But if anyone feels strongly that I should remove this stipulation, I shall go back and modify it.
I really intended the thread for any pre-internet good-looking old Small Press mags to preserve them for electronic posterity. But you're the boss here, Demonik.
PS: Hard to be objective, but Dagon #26 is genuinely my all-time favourite cover as a cover! I intend to bring to this thread more of my own favourite pairs from a huge collection over the next few months or years.

Very sound reasoning, Des.

Not by any stretch of the imagination! We don't really have or need one but I think a number of members have worn the 'leader' hat at different stages of Vault's mutation they probably just didn't realise it at the time. Of course, you're a frightful shower of chaps and chapesses but, apart from zapping some spam, I don't remember one instance of being called upon to do anything as tedious as 'moderate', and that reflects so well on the contributors. That's why I'm still here and still loving it as much as I did when we started.

(a) Finding the covers on the Internet would be difficult - and taking my own photos of the covers wouldn't (I feel) look too good.
If they are already on the Internet, there would be no point in putting them on this Ark as I feel that his Ark is for putting them on the internet for the first time. There are thousands of old mags - some with just a dozen people who own them! - that need electronic posterity. The Internet can be useful, some times!

(b) Posting pictures to this board is (as I discovered when I tried) impossibly difficult.
If you haven't got a scanner, I agree. Otherwise it is easy as you simply put the image's URL between [img][/img] and the picture appears as if by magic. Well, magic to people of our age!
