Rescue From Venus — Science Fiction Quarterly No. 3, Spring 1941

Giant insectoid aliens tower over human explorers on a lurid, industrial Venus in this electrifying 1941 pulp cover. A helmeted astronaut in a yellow pressure suit faces off against a massive mantis-like creature amid smoking machinery and a crowd of alien figures, while a second figure grapples with a winged insect in the foreground. The vivid reds, yellows, and greens pulse with the era's signature melodrama and extraterrestrial menace.
