Two Complete Science-Adventure Books #6, Summer 1952 Dual Cover
Serving two stories in one bold split composition, this cover dramatizes Paul Lawrence Payne's 'The Cructars Are Coming!' — set in the then-far-future year 1992 — alongside William Gray Beyer's 'Minions of the Moon.' The upper panel features a terrified red-haired woman menaced by writhing tentacled alien creatures, while the lower panel depicts an armored hero wielding a weapon against grotesque pink monsters on a lunar hellscape. Classic pulp energy radiates from every inch of this double-feature cover.
Two alien menaces, one screaming redhead, zero chill — this is pulp science fiction firing on all tentacles. The year 1992 has never looked more terrifying.
