Weirdist Un-Comics

Still mopping up puddles of brainmelt around here, so let's divert from plans and take a look at some Un-Comics.  Obviously, The Voice Of ODD! is into the Oddities of the world.
You know another good word for Oddities?

Weirdisms!

In the late '40s and early 50's Weird Tales magazine regularly gave a page to Lee Brown Coye (sometimes aided & abetted by E. Crosby Michel) to explore history's odd tales & legends. It's all single page illustrations with text, but i'm counting them as essentially being splash page comics, and hence - Un-Comics.

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.
