Emsh's Red Alien Menace — Galaxy Science Fiction, December 1963
A grotesque red-skinned alien with wild crimson hair and bulging mechanical eyepiece looms in the foreground, grinning with menace over a scene of human peril — one man stands alert near a sleek silver rocket while another lies unconscious at his feet on an alien landscape. The composition radiates cold-blooded villainy against a murky green-hued world, perfectly capturing the paranoid tension of Golden Age sci-fi.
A leering red devil from beyond the stars stands over your fallen crewmate — and that rocket won't save you now! Buy this issue or face the same fate.
