Planet Stories Winter 1941 — Warrior Woman Battles Winged Dragon on Alien World

Breathless planetary adventure erupts across this lurid Fiction House cover as a scantily-clad warrior woman, whip in hand, battles a massive green winged dragon-beast on a savage alien landscape. A defeated green-skinned alien lies sprawled at her feet while giant scorpions skitter below. The vivid crimson wings, scaled hide, and the heroine's defiant posture radiate pure pulp bravado — every inch of canvas crammed with primal conflict under an alien violet sky.

A barely-dressed woman wields a whip against a horse-sized winged dragon while giant scorpions swarm underfoot and a green alien lies vanquished at her feet — all for 20 cents. Fiction House's 'planet romances' format demanded maximum mayhem per square inch, and this cover gleefully delivers.
