The always entertaining Datajunkie blog has just posted a handful of Basil Wolverton cover illustrations. Wolverton was a truly unique comic book illustrator in the 1950s, whose horror and science fiction art has long been a favorite of mine. I'm not clear on the significance of "Weirdass Tales of the Future" as this is obviously not an actual comic book title, but any chance to pass some Wolverton art onto the public is worth taking.

"Far-out Weirdass Tales of the Future" was indeed the title used by an obscure online comic series (likely unauthorized, or at least with that vibe) which restored and collected older Wolverton stories and, as far as I can tell, published them free directly to obscure comic-piracy channels online. Those covers were the Wolverton art, and the stories inside were old Wolverton stories.
