Weird Tales April 1934 — The Man Who Was Two Men Radio Vision Cover

A scientist recoils in wide-eyed horror as a ghostly dual projection of a man — his spectral double — materializes within a glowing ovoid transmission field, arms raised in an uncanny mirror gesture. The terrified observer stumbles backward from a bank of knobbed control equipment, suggesting the machine has done something it was never meant to do. This vivid cover visualizes the promise of radio-television's next terrifying frontier: the duplication of the human self.
