Wonder Woman as a tube girl! I cannot say whether she has been captured by a race of giants, or merely shrunk down to test-tube size by an ordinary mad scientist. I originally reblogged this image in this post at Hedonix, after having had it tweeted to me by my generous friend @Brewt.Blacklist.
Well, maybe Satan does, but I cherish this illustration as one of the strangest variants I have yet found on the tube girl meme.
This cover vaguely reminds me of certain promotional art used for the movie Lifeforce (1985).
Okay, I take it back. This is surely the most mad science cover of the bunch.

This is a painting by Norman Saunders used on the cover of Marvel Science Stories for April-May 1939.
I found both the painting and the cover at Pulp Covers, where the curators have also generously made the entire issue available for download. The ISFDB entry for the issue is here.
This is The Spider for August 1938. I found this version of the cover via the Galactic Central Index.
A coed tube for a change! This is Horror Stories for December 1939-January 1940, cover artist unrecorded and no ISFDB entry. I found this version of the cover at this French-language collectors’ site.
Very mad science! This is Horror Stories for October-November 1939, cover artist unrecorded (shame!). This issue has no ISFDB entry; I found this version of the cover at this French-language collectors’ site.
