Weird Tales April 1926 — Robert E. Howard's Wolfshead Cover Art

Raw menace and Gothic dread radiate from this lurid 1926 Weird Tales cover depicting a leering, wolf-like villain poised to strike a bound, flame-haired woman with a dagger, while a massive shadowy wolf looms behind them in a blue-lit cave. Illustrating Robert E. Howard's early werewolf tale 'Wolfshead,' the image crackles with visceral pulp energy — bloodstained clothing, desperate struggle, and the lurking supernatural beast embodying primal horror at its most theatrical.
