Weird Tales October 1937 — 'Tiger Cat' Whip-Wielding Femme Fatale Cover

Dangerous allure radiates from this iconic Weird Tales cover as a flame-haired woman in a clinging silver gown cracks a whip over a mass of cowering, wide-eyed figures below her. Her predatory confidence and half-lidded gaze embody the pulp 'femme fatale' archetype at its most theatrical. The deep cobalt blue background with its web-like texture lends the scene an otherworldly, nightmarish quality perfectly suited to the featured story 'Tiger Cat' by David H. Keller.
