BRUNDAGE, Margaret (Johnson)
- BRUNDAGE, Margaret (Johnson)
(1900-1976)
US illustrator, resident in Chicago. Best-known for her erotic pastel covers for WEIRD TALES, MB was, as far as is known, the first woman artist to work in the sf/ FANTASY field, and the first of either sex whose covers featured nudes; they were generally of the damsel-in-distress variety. Her first cover was for Weird Tales editor Farnsworth WRIGHT's other magazine, Oriental Stories. The positive response was immediate, proving once again that sex sells; MB was main cover artist for Weird Tales from late 1932 to 1938, doing occasional further covers to 1945. MB's soft colours were attractive, but her drawing of faces and bodies only so-so.
