Looking for sci-fi and fantasy inspiration? This should do the trick.

REH is great but when it comes to sword & sorcery, I especially love Clark Ashton Smith. E. E. 'Doc' Smith is The Man when it comes to planet-smashing space adventure. Stanley G. Weinbaum wrote many memorable planetary adventure stories set in our Solar System. Back in the 1970s, Isaac Asimov compiled a great collection called BEFORE THE GOLDEN AGE which included his favorite pulp era sf stories from his youth along with reminiscences about that time in his life.

Virgil Finlay is my favorite pulp era artist (especially his b&w stuff), but there's examples of work that I like by any number of others: Leo Morey, 'Wesso', Hubert Rogers, Allen Anderson, Frank R. Paul...And Frank Kelly Freas managed to span the pulp era from its tail end in the 1950s thru to doing paperbacks in the early 1980s. In my opinion, he did the best space babes.

Just posted two classic covers to the 'photos' section of the group for everyone's delectation.

Assuming this isn't a dead thread - for an entertaining reboot of bloody, brawny pulp-tacular planetary adventure, I heartily recommend by Nathan Long. A loving homage and sly tweak of Edgar Rice Burroughs (as if the title alone wouldn't clue you in). Fun, fun, fun...
