Dragon Moon: Warrior vs. Beast, Weird Tales January 1941 Cover

A monstrous dragon-like creature lunges forward with gnashing teeth and bulging eyes, its clawed limbs threatening a swooning woman in green silks while a golden-armored warrior raises his sword and shield in desperate defense. Behind them, a sickly yellow moon illuminates a dark battlefield swarming with cavalry. This is Henry Kuttner's 'Dragon Moon' made viscerally real — an Atlantean nightmare of scaled horror, imperiled beauty, and sword-swinging heroism at peak pulp intensity.

OH BUDDY — a bug-eyed dragon, a fainting damsel in green chiffon, a sword-swinging Viking, and a moonlit cavalry charge ALL on one cover?! This is the holy grail of pulp excess and I am absolutely losing my mind right now!
