The Time/Transport Bubble: Cult of the Devil Worshipers

Wow. Way to take some vibrant old pulp art and saddle it with a “couldn’t-be-arsed” font like Verdana.

Bonus points! The spelling error in the title is repeated several times in the front matter of the book.

Could be you’re right… But I don’t recall seeing it that way. I was hoping the author was just making the word fit the width.

That’s weird. I actually never saw it spelled “worshipper”.

Not that I’ve seen that word a lot.

Is she lying on that slab or rolling off it? That torso angle just isn’t right. And, dude, way to crowd all the text right to the edges. Make use of every pixel!

I’m more interested in learning what this painting was originally meant for.

Weird Tales. The artwork and fonts and layout work well together in the lurid original, as can be seen in the fourth pic down on this blog — http://indianaillustrators.blogspot.tw/2011/02/egypt.html

(Google image search is a useful tool!)

Wow, good find! What a thief!!! If you look at the large image you can see how sloppily they removed the heads.

Amazing you were able to find this. Now that I can compare the original to this, I see where they forgot to remove the white line (to the left) that had been between the names of Lovecraft and Seabury Quinn.

Dang! You got your time machine in my transport bubble!

Now what am I going to do?

Oh! It makes this cult of devil worshipers taste great!
