Famous Fantastic Mysteries Apr — Dian of the Lost Land Jungle Queen Cover

A statuesque blonde goddess in a leopard-skin skirt and metallic golden bikini top raises her arms triumphantly against a stormy blue sky, mushroom-cloud silhouettes looming ominously in the background. This is Dian, queen of a lost prehistoric land, rendered with the lush, golden-skinned glamour of peak pulp fantasy art. The composition merges lost-world adventure with barely-veiled menace, her commanding pose suggesting power over the apocalyptic forces gathering behind her.
