Those Macabre Pulps
by Mike Hunchback, Caleb Braaten
Category: Art

Lee Brown Coye (1907-1981) is probably best remembered for his black-and-white illustrations for pulp magazines and horror fiction. No other artist working in mid-century pulp fiction created work as twisted as Lee Brown Coye. By the 1970s, after surviving a life-threatening illness, Coye would outdo himself, creating lurid illustrations exclusive to rare privately published books and fanzines. With nearly 100 gloriously rendered Coye-penned images, Pulp Macabre showcases Coye's final and darkest era, containing some of the most passionately ghoulish artwork ever made.
