Description Extended Information   Startling Stories artwork by Earle Bergey. Original had stories man battles mutant in Dragon's Island by Jack Williamson. Posters such as this influenced much of the Sci Fi that was released later - in this case Men In Black (the small child like aliens). Earle K. Bergey was born in Philadelphia on August 16, 1901 and died in 1952). He was a pulp magazine and paperback illustrator. Well-known and sometimes notorious for what is today called Good Girl Art, he became noted in the Science Fiction field for his covers for Startling Stories,Thrilling Wonder Stories and Captain Future Magazine, which featured women in space helmets and bikinis or skin-tight outfits similar to Princess Leia's slave-girl outfit in Return of the Jedi. These covers, often described as "Bim, Bem, Bum" usually featured a woman being menaced by a monster or robot who resembled a man in a rubber suit, and an astronaut or other heroic type. In addition, he did paperback covers for Popular Library usually illustrating mystery titles (though he did do Gentlemen Prefer Blondes). This reportedly lasted until public pressure forced Popular Library to stop using him.
