The Return of Jongor — Fantastic Adventures April 1944 Cover

A muscle-bound barbarian hero locks in desperate combat with a towering blue-skinned devil-horned giant atop a rocky outcropping. The hero grips a staff with white-knuckled fury while his monstrous opponent rears back to deliver a killing blow, dark fur loincloth and wild hair flying against a lurid yellow sky. In the background, an ancient walled city and a cavalry skirmish hint at a lost-world civilization under siege — pure pulp sword-and-sorcery spectacle at its testosterone-drenched finest.
