I was very sorry to see on Facebook just now of the passing of pulp art collector Robert Lesser on March 1, 2020.
His collection of art filled Pulp Art: Original Cover Paintings for the Great American Pulp Magazines from 1997 and let us marvel over the quality of the artwork created for our beloved rough-paper magazines. He also displayed the paintings at various exhibits over the years for fans to appreciate in person.
His obituary appears on Legacy.com.
Below, Lesser talks about the pulps and his love of the artwork.
