Strike Magazines

Before creating the Moomins, Finnish artist Tove Jansson spent over two decades illustrating Garm, a Finnish-Swedish satirical magazine known for its anti-fascist stance. She contributed from 1929, when she was just 15, until 1953, including striking covers such as a 1944 issue now surfacing at auction. Art communities are celebrating this lesser-known side of her political and satirical work.

Actress Naomi Ackie is drawing attention for a macabre-inspired fashion streak tied to the promotion of 'Clayface', the upcoming DC film. W Magazine highlighted her dark, horror-tinged style choices, which match the movie's monster-movie themes and have sparked conversation among film and fashion watchers.

The July 1930 issue of Amazing Stories, volume 5, number 4, is being shared for its striking pulp cover art. The illustration shows one-eyed hexagonal miners wielding knives fleeing across a purple ice planet, apparently pursued by spiky, olive-like creatures. The full original magazine is freely available on the Internet Archive, and science fiction fans are enjoying the bizarre, imaginative artwork from the genre's early pulp era.
