Weird Tales May 1929 — The Scourge of B'Moth Demon Sorcerer Cover

A fanged, masked sorcerer in crimson robes stands knee-deep in churning dark waters, hoisting a limp red-haired woman aloft while a massive crocodile lunges from the foam at his side. Glowing spectral tendrils ripple through the murk behind him, suggesting black magic at work. This lurid tableau — part occult menace, part exotic adventure — captures the peak theatrical excess of Weird Tales cover art, blending Oriental villain tropes with supernatural horror.
