Wonder Stories Nov 1932 — Dinosaurs vs. Futuristic Airliner, 'One Prehistoric Night'
Painted to illustrate Philip Barshofsky's lost-world tale 'One Prehistoric Night,' this explosive Wonder Stories cover drops a sleek, bullet-nosed futuristic airliner into a savage Mesozoic hellscape. A massive carnivorous dinosaur breathes fire as smaller bipedal dinosaurs swarm across the ochre flats. A gun turret mounted on a steel derrick blasts laser beams at the attacking beasts. The collision of gleaming Art Deco machinery with prehistoric terror distills the Golden Age pulp formula perfectly.
When a luxury airliner meets the Jurassic and only laser cannons can save the day — pulp science fiction at its most gloriously unhinged. Frank R. Paul said hold my pencil.
