Decades before the gothic \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efetish craze, Brundage's lush, provocative paintings, which frequently featured \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esmoldering, semi-nude young women bearing whips, became a focus of acute \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eattention and controversy. At the very peak of the notorious pulp's classic run, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe magazine's appeal was due as much to Brundage's covers as to the stories \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003einside by famous authors H. P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, Robert Bloch and \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConan creator, Robert E. Howard. Long before Frazetta, it was Brundage who was the very 1st Conan cover artist.
