Cosmic Superman Streaks Toward Earth, Amazing Stories March 1950

A godlike superhuman body hurtles through orbital space toward Earth in a streak of fiery plasma, embodying the concept of a living cosmic weapon — a being capable of interplanetary travel under his own power. Sleek rocket ships trail behind him against a star-filled void, with Earth's curved horizon visible below. The figure's bronzed, muscular form and fierce expression convey unstoppable menace, illustrating Robert Abernathy's story 'The Ultimate Peril,' in which Earth faces an existential threat from a nearly omnipotent cosmic killer.
