Futuro – A New Stance for Tomorrow – Futuro wasn’t a one-off design, however, but a prefabricated dwelling intended for mass production. The original plan by Finnish architect Matti Suuronen was for a plastic ski lodge that would be light, easy to assemble and quick to heat.

Carl Jacobi 1928-1933 – Carl Jacobi (1908-1997) has been called a Weird Tales also-ran but that is to miss so much about this fascinating writer.

He was a short story writer through-and-through. –> https://gwthomas.org/carl-jacobi-1928-1933/

The Macabre Art of Sanjulián – Sanjulián belonged to a remarkable generation of illustrators whose work helped shape how horror, fantasy, and science fiction were imagined by readers around the world. His influence lives on in the artists who continue to draw inspiration from his paintings. – Sanjulián's career was steeped in the weird and uncanny. Most American fans of 'genre' art first came to know him through the covers of Warren magazines like Creepy, Eerie and Vampirella, which venues he dominated after Frazetta moved on to greener pastures. When Warren folded in the early '80s, Sanjulián continued to paint works of dark fantasy and horror for various magazines, book covers and private commissions almost until the day he died. –> https://dmrbooks.com/test-blog/2026/10/15/the-macabre-art-of-sanjulin

“Splashing the Volcano”: ‘Dianetics’ in the Age of Reaganomics – The blazing volcano seamlessly becomes the front cover of L. Ron Hubbard’s Dianetics. A voiceover tells us that we can buy the book “wherever paperbacks are sold,” and then concludes, with “Dianetics” spelled out in big white block letters: “A fresh look at today’s problems.” – an exploding volcano that grows grasping tentacles for roots—for the cover of a 1991 issue featuring Richard Behar’s now-famous exposé of Scientology called “The Thriving Cult of Greed and Power.” –> https://wearethemutants.com/2026/09/29/splashing-the-volcano-dian...
