Weird Tales September — 'Day of Judgment' Beast-Men Cover, Edmond Hamilton

Painted for Edmond Hamilton's 'Day of Judgment,' this unsettling Weird Tales cover depicts a nightmarish gallery of hybrid beast-men — part animal, part human — crowding the frame with glowing, intelligence-filled eyes. A horned lizard-creature dominates the center, flanked by bovine, canine, feline, lupine, and avian hybrids, each radiating a disturbing sentience. The dark, shadowy cityscape looming behind them suggests these creatures have inherited — or are about to judge — a world once belonging to humanity.

When the beasts inherit the Earth, they stare back — and they are not pleased. A fever-gallery of hybrid horror that makes evolution feel like a threat.
