Other Worlds June 1953 – Woman Rides Alien Creature Past Rocket
Interplanetary travel and exotic alien fauna collide in this vivid 1953 pulp cover: a sleek golden rocket streaks across a star-filled sky as a scantily-clad woman rides a massive white fluffy alien dog-like creature across an otherworldly landscape. Multiple moons hang in the deep blue void above. The lush, painterly composition blends retro-futurist rocketry with whimsical alien-world adventure, capturing the anything-goes imagination of early 1950s science fiction at its most exuberant.
Holy smokes — a gorgeous gal riding a giant space dog while a rocket blasts overhead and three moons hang in the sky? This is the coolest cover at the drugstore by a mile and I'm buying two copies. Robert Bloch wrote the lead story too, the guy who does all the creepy stuff!
