While not specifically about OTR, I thought it might be entertaining to post some 'pulp' covers from the Golden and Silver Ages of Science Fiction, particularly as some OTR series, such as X Minus One and Exploring Tomorrow, were either sponsored by or had some tie-in to these magazines.  Even if they had no direct link, many of the radio series of the day pulled their stories from the pages of these classic pulps - you will find covers illustrating stories transcribed for radio. The images range from the lurid to the paranoid, from the absurd to the ingeniously prophetic.  I hope you enjoy this excursion into the worlds of Yesterday's Tomorrows...
