Battering Rams of Space – Amazing Stories Feb 1941 Space Combat Cover

A massive golden space battleship — hull marked S-37 — is being rammed and torn apart by a sleek red rocket in the void of space, sending armored crew members tumbling into the void. Debris and atmosphere vent from the stricken vessel as a ringed planet looms in the lower background. The composition captures the gut-punch moment of impact, with the red ram-ship still blazing through the hull in a dazzling display of pulp space warfare at its most visceral.
