Giant Space Suit vs. Red Crabs: Amazing Stories Quarterly Spring 1929
A sense of alien adventure and barely-contained menace radiates from this vivid cover, as an armored astronaut in a bulky white pressure suit strides through a teeming swarm of red crustacean-like creatures on an alien world. A second suited figure battles in the background beneath strange cone-shaped rock formations and an eerie green sky. Flying saucers hover distantly overhead, completing the sense of an epic otherworldly struggle against a hostile extraterrestrial ecosystem.
The ground is literally carpeted in a writhing, uncountable horde of scarlet alien crabs swarming toward the astronaut's boots — a deliriously over-the-top threat that only pulp science fiction could dream up with such gleeful commitment.
