Covering Margaret

As noted last time, Margaret Brundage produced a total of 66 covers for Weird Tales magazine.
I believe the proper phrase is "I've collected them together so you don't have to."

Presented in chronological order:
1932



1933









1934 
(the first year she owned all the covers)













1935

















The end of 1935 brings us to the halfway point. Join us tomorrow noon (pacific hermit time) for the Weird Tales covers of Margaret Brundage from 1936-1945.

Who Was This Guy Back In '38?

A month prior to the issue of Weird Tales we saw yesterday, the March 1938 issue sported this cover -


I don't know about you, but i thought that was a fairly daring cover for the '30s. When i first encountered one of M. Brundage's covers it was quite a surprise.  Not only was the work lovely, it was luridly so, with imagery i would not have guessed would be on a magazine cover back in the early '30s, as these three were -




Seriously. I'd be tempted to put these in the adult content back room if they weren't off the rack magazine covers from over 80 years ago. Who was this Monsieur Brundage fellow?
I wanted to know more, and certainly wanted to find more of his artwork.

Oh, i was so confused...

(as we'll see this weekend)

covers by Brundage for Weird Tales June & Sept. (1933), Jan. (1934), and March (1938)
