New bot shares vintage sci-fi magazine covers online
Original: Hi! I'm a bot posting Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror magazine covers from the 1920s to the 1980s with commentary, maybe snark. So
A new automated account has begun posting science fiction, fantasy and horror magazine covers from the 1920s through the 1980s, adding short commentary to each image. The covers are sourced from the Internet Archive, where readers can view the full original magazines. The account notes that some images are garish, with content warnings for horror, violence and war imagery.
Why now: A newly launched bot sharing nostalgic pulp magazine cover art is drawing attention from retro sci-fi and art fans.
