Weird Tales June 1930 – 'Moon of Skulls' by Robert E. Howard, Hugh Rankin
Inspired by Robert E. Howard's 'The Moon of Skulls,' a pulp adventure featuring Solomon Kane, this lurid June 1930 Weird Tales cover by Hugh Rankin explodes with tropical menace. A dark, feathered figure looms above, clutching a rope of skulls, while a fallen man in a red cap struggles below and a red-haired woman brandishes a pistol in desperate defiance. Vivid yellows and crimson against savage shadow capture Howard's Africa-set horror at full pulp intensity.
