EDITORS COMMENTS
This cover image, taken from the March 1942 issue of Fantastic Adventures, showcases the science fiction story "War on Venus" by the renowned author Edgar Rice Burroughs. The vivid illustration transports us to an otherworldly realm, as a fierce tiger, with piercing yellow eyes and stripes that seem to pop off the page, leaps to seize a helmeted warrior wielding a spear. The warrior's battle cry echoes through the air, as a young woman in a striking red dress and armed with her own spear attempts to escape the chaos. Her determined expression and the fiery hue of her dress contrast sharply with the dark, alien landscape behind her, adding to the sense of tension and urgency. The odd, unusual, and bizarre elements of this cover are quintessential of the pulp fiction genre, which thrived during the 1930s and 1940s. The image invites us to delve deeper into the strange and fantastical world of Burroughs' imagination, as we wonder about the origins of the tiger, the motivations of the warrior, and the fate of the young woman. This cover remains an enduring testament to the power of science fiction to transport us to new and exciting realms, and to the enduring appeal of Edgar Rice Burroughs' works.
