Here we present the first of a what is likely a series of covers for Weird Tales. This little magazine, the October 1937 cover of which we reproduce above, was where many of the stories of H.P. Lovecraft first saw the light of publication, and in those days its principal cover artist was Margaret Brundage (1900-1976), she of the ballooning breasts and, incidentally, an art-school classmate of Walt Disney.

The scan quality on most old issues of Weird Tales is unfortunately pretty low, but we shouldn’t keep that from appreciating an interior artwork contribution by the ubiquitous Virgil Finlay.

This issue of Weird Tales is available to read or download from the Internet Archive.
