Buccaneers of Venus – Weird Tales January 1933 Pulp Cover

On the streets of an alien Venusian city, a bronzed, near-naked warrior leaps from the back of a horned, ox-like mount, his red cloak streaming behind him, lunging toward a crouching native adversary armed with a long spear. Exotic domed architecture looms in acid yellows and purples behind the combatants. This cover illustrates Otis Adelbert Kline's planetary romance serial 'Buccaneers of Venus,' embodying the swashbuckling, Edgar Rice Burroughs-influenced adventure typical of Golden Age pulp science fantasy.
