Woman in Spacesuit Seized by Lightning Creature — Amazing Stories Oct 1947

A female space explorer clad in a skintight yellow bodysuit, blue helmet, and gloves is violently snatched mid-air by a massive crackling dark entity — a living storm of dark matter or electromagnetic force — its body laced with white lightning tendrils. She screams, limbs splayed in helpless terror against a volcanic alien landscape of scorched rock and burning sky. This is the Astrogar of Henry Hasse's tale, a creature of pure menace and kinetic dread rendered in vivid pulp gouache.
