Planet Stories Fall 1944 — 'The Eyes of Thar' Alien World Battle Cover

Ray-gun technology and interplanetary combat take center stage as a scantily-clad warrior woman wields a long alien weapon against a crimson devil-horned extraterrestrial on a barren alien world. A helmeted male companion crouches below her, armed with a futuristic pistol. The alien landscape features jagged red rock formations and an eerie yellow sky, exemplifying the exotic alien-world aesthetic of Golden Age pulp science fiction at its most dramatic and lurid.
