Weird Tales June 1928 – The Devil's Martyr by Signe Toksvig Cover

A swooping cavalier on a rearing horse bears down on a fallen woman in a torn pink gown, her golden hair spread across the forest floor. The rider, dressed in 17th-century finery with a plumed hat and gleaming sword, embodies sinister aristocratic menace against a backdrop of autumnal trees. This historical-horror tableau illustrates Signe Toksvig's 'The Devil's Martyr,' rendered in lush, painterly gouache with theatrical red and gold drama befitting Weird Tales at its lurid best.
