Giant Atlas Figure Holds Alternate Earth, Fantastic Adventures May 1948

In the tradition of Ziff-Davis house style pulp illustration — likely by Robert Fuqua or a contemporary staff artist — this striking cover depicts a colossal bronze-skinned godlike figure cradling an alternate version of Earth, its continents labeled with fictional names: Uropa, Afrota, Atland, Atlantis, Clyrus, and Clya. The figure radiates a mythic, Atlas-like gravitas against a star-flecked deep blue cosmos. Bold, muscular figure painting combined with cartographic speculative geography makes this a rare and imaginative example of lost-world pulp cover art.
