Wonder Stories Aug 1931 — Energy Beam Tower & Comet, 35th Millennium
A colossal lattice-work energy tower dominates an alien or far-future landscape, firing a blazing beam skyward into a corona of orange fire while a luminous comet streaks past a sulfurous yellow sky. Below, clustered dome structures suggest a civilization of the distant future. The composition radiates raw Gernsbackian optimism — science as spectacle, technology as salvation — rendered in vivid gouache with characteristic pulp bravado by Arthur G. Stangland for Hugo Gernsback's Wonder Stories.
A million-volt death-beam punches a hole in the sky while the dome-cities of the 35th Millennium watch from below — Gernsback's vision of tomorrow is loud, chrome, and absolutely on fire!
