The Woman in Skin 13 — Fantastic Adventures June 1952
Cover art for Fantastic Adventures, June 1952 (v14n06), illustrating Gerald Vance's 'The Woman in Skin 13,' in which the Green Menace transforms Mary into a serpentine green-skinned woman. She stands with a ray gun beside a purple-toned man, while bat-winged reptilian creatures swarm a domed structure behind them. The issue also features 'The Lion's Mouth' by Stephen Marlowe.
A green naked alien woman with a ray gun backed by a brooding purple giant while bat-dragons swarm alien domes — this is pulp at its most unapologetically unhinged. It belongs on a dorm room wall AND deserves a spot in any serious Golden Age pulp art retrospective.
