This Margaret Brundage cover is from the March 1938 issue. Is our unclad cutie being evoked or dissolved by death? Either way, she looks surprised. She illustrates a Seabury Quinn story in another star-studded (as future generations would reckon it) cast of authors in Weird Tales. Virgil Finlay has an interior illustration to the cover story which, somewhat unusually for Finlay’s art in this period, presents exposed female nipples — Finlay would usually artfully conceal them.

(Sorry about the severe yellowing of the page, but the medium was called “pulp” for a reason.)
