The Invading Horde – Weird Tales November 1927 Cover by C.C. Senf
A goggled aviator in leather flight gear clutches an unconscious woman on a seaside dock as churning surf crashes behind them — something terrible has just come from the water. A discarded alien or enemy mask lies on the planks at their feet, hinting at the invading horde closing in. The heroic rescue pose crackles with pulp urgency, the deep navy sky and whitecapped waves amplifying the coastal dread of Arthur J. Burks' featured story.
Oh man, a goggled pilot scooping up a swooning dame while a creepy goggle-mask lies abandoned on the dock — and something is STILL out there in that surf! This is textbook late-'20s Weird Tales pulp heroics firing on all cylinders.
