    When I saw this topic, I just knew it would be perfect for you! You're Lonely When You're Dead is my favorite!

    These are fantastic and it's hard to pick a favorite. The Case of the Naked Diver may be my favorite title but it was a close call and all the covers are amazingly ridiculous!

    Interestingly, most of these strange titles are detective stories, I believe.

    Hurray for Mack Bolan the Executioner! Nothing like a mens adventure novel to add some interest to an evening....

    Those titles are so funny - I wonder if they were ever meant to be taken seriously!

    Oh I am clapping my hands and laughing out loud here! So funny!!! And I love the pulp covers, as you know. You're lonely when you're dead. Not when you are a ghost!!

    Happy TTT Greg, this was good!

    This was a fun topic! I definitely feel like I had an odd sense of humor when choosing some of my titles. I just remembering chuckling as I discovered said title and added it to my list. I think I read most of mine, just a few that are still in the TBR pile!

    Here's my Tuesday Post

    Have a GREAT day!

    Oh, those pulp fictions are a riot! Can't find covers like these in new fiction. So cool and funny! Thanks for your comments! Hope August is treading you well!

    Lmao, I love these covers and their titles! Some of the descriptors (like for Naked Diver) are too funny! So many exclamation marks to murder 😂 You always pick the best pulp covers, Greg. Great post!

    I see a theme here - ladies in peril. I guess in those days, most covers features ladies even if the main character is man.

    Have a lovely day.
