I hadn't seen these or heard of Petruccelli but these are really nice covers. The stories are cool too, particularly the turnaround time on December 1938.
Interestingly these were ~$20 each in today's dollars. It was really going after a specific demographic as "the Ideal Super-Class Magazine"[1] I guess.

- rebuilder 7y agoThe december 1938 cover had a puzzling detail - he had perspective issues and resorted to building a model, taking photos, and having the negatives developed... for a pentacle, not a terribly complicated shape. Peculiar. Then again, failing at something while under time pressure can get you to lock up to the point where drastic measures are needed.
