This is Thrilling Mystery for January 1936, no cover artist recorded and no ISFDB entry. The rarity of this cover is that it presents its “heroine” not as being menaced or in peril but actually dead by the time the action depicted on the cover is occurring. I found this cover at Pulp Covers and verified its date in the Galactic Central index.

This is Thrilling Mystery for September 1936, cover by Rudolph Berlarski. The ISFDB entry for this issue is here. The version of the cover above (very large is you click through) was found in this post at Pulp Covers.

The version at Galactic Central does not show this damage but is much smaller.
