Why go exploring a tropical island in your clingy nightgown? You’ll attract racial menace that way, as Margaret Brundage illustrates on this June 1934 cover of Weird Tales.
The interior art for this issue is less spectacular than others, though there is an interesting piece by the mysterious H.R. Hammond at the head of another early Robert E. Howard story, “The Haunter of the Ring.”
This issue of Weird Tales is available to read or download from the Internet Archive.
I like looking through the Eyrie, the letter column. This issue’s was a hoot. Especially when they talk about C. L. Moore and what a good writer he is.
That was why C.L. Moore was C.L. Moore. A lot of people wouldn’t have liked her stories as much as his, or so it was thought. The attitude continued for quite some time: Ursula K. Le Guin was U.K. Le Guin when she began her career. It may have been at the request of editors.
I’m not sure of any other magazines, but I only saw her billed that way in one magazine: Playboy.
