Before The Zodiac Killer II: More Vintage Illustrations Pulp Magazine Covers & Detective Magazines

Before The Zodiac Killer part two featuring an unusual selection of vintage pulp magazine covers, detective magazine illustrations, some news from Roseville, CA, in 1969, and a hidden symbol in the movie All The President's Men. We maintain that many of the most unusual criminals were inspired by visual imagery that they found especially interesting and motivating. Some have held pictures in their minds as fantasies, while others pursued what was out there to be found. Most major cities had used magazine shops where old back issues, comics, and esoteric publications could be found. Detective magazines and fictional pulps with bold, eye-catching covers remain in plentiful numbers to this day.
