Virgil Finlay left behind thirty-five years of fantasy and science-fiction art-work - and a reputation as the most meticulous pulp magazine illustrator of his generation. Finlay sold his first professional drawings to Weird Tales magazine in 1935 and within a year he had established himself as the finest artist in his field. Throughout the 1930's, 40s and 50s, Finlay reigned supreme as the acknowledged master of black-and-white fantasy, science fiction and horror illustration. Women of the Ages offers the best of Finlay's artwork - exquisite line drawings, which display the jewel-like rendering of Finlay's painstaking technique. Women of the Ages features ravishing illustrations from the pages of Weird Tales, Famous Fantastic Mysteries, Startling Stories, American Weekly and many others. This lavish cornerstone collection showcases the work of a unique 20th century artist.

Launched in 1923, the pulp magazine Weird Tales quickly became one of the most important outlets for horror and fantasy fiction and is often associated with writers like H. P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert Bloch, all of whose work appeared in its pages. But often overlooked is the fact that much of Weird Tales' content was by women writers, some of whom numbered among the magazine's most popular contributors. This volume includes thirteen fantastic tales originally published between 1925 and 1949, written by four of Weird Tales' most prolific female contributors: Greye La Spina, Everil Worrell, Mary Elizabeth Counselman and Eli Colter. Ranging from science fiction to fantasy to horror, these classic tales of mad scientists, deadly curses, ghosts, vampires, and the risen dead remain as thrilling and sensational as when first published.
