I loved these women, their hair do’s, the clothing they wear for each cover. If it didn’t state what year it was on the cover, I would say it might just be today!

All “Leading Ladies” were lovely to behold. Also enjoyed the slick, saucy puns and tastefully suggestive references.

Are reprints of the stories themselves also available ? I could use a little tittle-ation in my old age !

I absolutely LOVE the story illustrations that ran in the POST during the 1940′s and ’50s. All of these artists featured in this Diana Denny feature are fantastic. A lot of them never did COVERS per se, but they enriched the magazine on the INSIDE, which is often overlooked.

Joe De Mers and Edwin Georgi are two favorites shown here. I love so many more of course, and will be buying reprints through the Curtis website mentioned above. I love the POST from all time periods, and am also pleased to see this website honor the covers from the 1960′s, of which many may not have seemed “POST-like” then, but represented their time perfectly. LIFE and Look never had Sonny & Cher, The Mamas & Pappas and The Girls from Laugh-In on THEIR covers, did they?! Now if they just could have done a cover on the Monkees…

Interesting ladies. Interesting art work too. It is interesting to think a story printed in the early 1950′s would be too “sexy” for today”s Post.
