Thrilling Wonder Stories June 1947 – Electric Energy Transfer Cover

A muscular man in a red tunic recoils in agony as crackling energy bolts surge through his body, while a dark-haired woman in a gold metallic bikini-top and shorts desperately reaches toward a glowing orb firing lightning between them — a portal or screen behind them reveals an icy alien cityscape. This is classic pulp jeopardy: science gone violent, a hero overwhelmed, and a scantily-clad heroine caught in the crossfire of mad technology.
