Famous Fantastic Mysteries Feb — The Scarlet Plague Femme Fatale Cover
A golden-haired woman in a skimpy brass bikini drapes her languid body across an enormous blood-dripping crimson sphere, her head thrown back in theatrical abandon. The cover illustrates Jack London's apocalyptic novel 'The Scarlet Plague,' with the lurid red orb and cascading crimson droplets evoking plague, death, and seductive danger in equal measure. Classic pulp sensationalism fuses catastrophe with pinup glamour against a stark black background.
A blonde in a gold bikini draped across a bleeding planet — this cover doesn't ask for your attention, it takes it. Pure pulp id: sex, death, and plague condensed into one gloriously deranged image.
