Red Spacesuit Escape on Alien World — Science Fiction Magazine, March 1939

Painted to accompany Edmond Hamilton's 'Under the White Star,' this cover plunges readers onto a desolate alien landscape where two figures in vivid red pressure suits flee desperately across cratered terrain. The larger astronaut clutches a companion — possibly wounded — while bizarre reptilian creatures lurk in the foreground shadows. A blood-red moon hangs over ruined alien architecture in the distance, capturing Hamilton's signature blend of cosmic peril and human heroism at peak pulp intensity.
