Thrilling Wonder Stories Oct 1942 — Monster Attack & Girl in a Bottle
A desperate man in a blue suit fires a ray gun point-blank at a snarling green alien monster that clutches him from behind, while a second creature writhes at his feet. Dominating the left half of the cover, a scantily-clad blonde woman is imprisoned inside a glowing glass vessel mounted on a laboratory apparatus — the quintessential pulp damsel-in-jeopardy meets mad-science spectacle. Vivid orange-red background intensifies the chaos of this wartime Golden Age pulp masterpiece.
A green tentacled nightmare chokes a gun-blazing hero while a gorgeous blonde is bottled alive in a glowing lab contraption — brother, this cover has EVERYTHING. Buy the magazine or the monster wins!
