The Blue Flamingo – Startling Stories Jan 1948 Hannes Bok Cover

A commanding sorceress-queen stands atop a ziggurat staircase bathed in amber and crimson light, her sinuous golden gown merging with the neck of a massive blue flamingo at her side. Dark storm clouds billow on either flank as she grips a writhing blue serpent in both hands, her expression imperious beneath a jeweled headdress. This is pulp fantasy at its most theatrical — exotic, dangerous, and drenched in otherworldly menace.
