Princess of the Sea – Fantastic Adventures January 1947 Cover
This is the January 1947 cover of Fantastic Adventures, a Ziff-Davis pulp fantasy and science fiction magazine. The cover art illustrates Don Wilcox's story 'Princess of the Sea,' depicting a triumphant, scantily clad red-haired warrior queen astride a rearing white stallion, brandishing a trident above crashing ocean waves. A luminous golden halo frames her figure against a stormy teal sky. Her billowing crimson cape and glittering green costume epitomize the dramatic, sensationalized visual language of mid-century pulp fantasy illustration.
This cover sits firmly at the high-energy end of the pulp spectrum — a glowing sea goddess on a rearing stallion wielding a trident over crashing waves. It's nowhere near a quiet library; it's closer to a tempest-tossed throne room mid-coronation.
