This cover (September 1933) is pretty classic Margaret Brundage: an almost-nude in a kinky situation probably at best remotely related to the contents of the stories beneath the cover. Our distressed damsel has the long flowing locks Brundage was so fond of, possibly because they were so useful in providing a bit of just-barely-there strategic covering so as to keep nosy postal inspectors and local district attorneys at bay.

The interior has a not-bad illustration of Edmond Hamilton’s story “The Horror on the Asteroid,” done by J.M. Wilcox (1895-1958). Also classic stuff, spaceman using spacegun to defend space damsel against space monster.

Wilcox would achieve a measure of artistic fame within a few months as the first artist to draw Conan the Barbarian, also in the pages of Weird Tales. I shall try to dig that up.

An uncredited and indeed pretty much unnoticed small illustration at the end of the story suggests perhaps things worked out better between monster and damsel than one might have predicted.
