Futures Past

- While not specifically about OTR, I thought it might be entertaining to post some 'pulp' covers from the Golden and Silver Ages of Science Fiction, particularly as some OTR series, such as X Minus One and Exploring Tomorrow, were either sponsored by or had some tie-in to these magazines. Even if they had no direct link, many of the radio series of the day pulled their stories from the pages of these classic pulps. The images range from the lurid to the paranoid... from the absurd to the ingeniously prophetic. I hope you enjoy this excursion into the worlds of Yesterday's Tomorrows...
