Frank R. Paul's Lost World Under Antarctica – Fantastic Adventures April 1940

Beneath the frozen wastes of Antarctica lies a steaming prehistoric jungle — and three fur-clad explorers are fleeing for their lives as a massive pterodactyl swoops down with claws extended. Their red spherical escape pod sits grounded in the lush undergrowth behind them, useless against this ancient aerial predator. Frank R. Paul's vivid gouache brings the lost tropical world to lurid life, pitting modern polar explorers against Mesozoic horrors in a claustrophobic green wilderness lit by a stormy, electric sky.
