Dragon Attacks Fleeing Woman, Weird Tales July 1926 'Through the Vortex'
A supernatural vortex-summoned dragon — the story's central speculative terror — erupts from a wall of fire as a dark-coiled serpentine beast descends upon a screaming woman in white. A lone hero stands his ground against the inferno, pistol raised defiantly at the creature. This cover illustrates Donald Edward Keyhoe's 'Through the Vortex,' blending Eastern dragon mythology with pulp adventure tropes: dimensional rifts, monstrous fauna, and the heroic gunman against impossible odds.
Holy smokes — a giant dragon bursting out of a wall of fire while a dame screams and some brave fella shoots at it with a pistol? That's the greatest twenty-five cents you'll ever spend! I'm reading 'Through the Vortex' first thing after supper.
