Also called the Terrible Triangle, a reference to the lurid cover art of pulp magazines, featuring the trinity of bum-babe-BEM: Spaceman, scantily clad female and menacing monster.
| From Fancyclopedia 2, ca. 1959 |
| The pulpcover trinity of bum-babe-BEM, notably as appearing on the covers of Bergey-illustrated Standard Twins. Also practically any 3-fan group, especially the WO3W and Wheels of IF. |
| From Fancyclopedia 2 Supplement, ca. 1960 |
| Some write the abbreviation BEM-FEM-LEM, the last standing for Lascivious-Eyed Male -- although in point of fact most of the heroes in this sort of cover were either clear-eyed and nobel or squinty-eyed and ferocious-looking. But it makes a passable rhyme. |
