Serpent Princess — Weird Tales January 1948 Green Siren vs. Deep-Sea Diver
Deep-sea exploration technology collides with supernatural menace as a helmeted hard-hat diver in a vintage pressure suit confronts a commanding green-skinned Serpent Princess, her hand raised in warning or command. Surrounded by cowering aquatic humanoid attendants amid swirling flames or seaweed, the scene blends undersea science with pulp fantasy. A red trident symbol and star motifs reinforce the otherworldly hierarchy of this subaquatic realm, illustrating Edmond Hamilton's featured story.
Holy smokes — a green goddess queen with an army of fish-people squaring off against a deep-sea diver is exactly what I paid my twenty cents for! That cover alone is worth sneaking it past Mom.
