Earle Bergey's Buxom Space Goddess, Startling Stories May 1951
A colossal flame-haired woman looms godlike over the Earth itself, her gloved hand poised as a sleek silver rocket screams past her on a fiery exhaust trail — is she launching it, or catching it? The blue-green globe floats below amid luminous clouds, dwarfed by her impossible scale. This is classic Earle Bergey: voluptuous, brazenly dramatic, with gleaming metallic costume details and that signature yellow-gold background radiating atomic-age optimism and barely-contained pulp excess.
OH MAMA — a woman the size of a continent casually supervising rocket launches while Earth serves as her backdrop? Bergey turned the dial to maximum and snapped the knob clean off. This is the Sistine Chapel of 'what if space had more cleavage.'
