Planet Stories Winter 1946 — 'The Man the Sun Gods Made' Pulp Cover
A glowing golden humanoid deity strides forward through a crowd of alien hordes as a villainous hooded captor clutches a terrified red-bikini-clad woman at gunpoint — execution by hanging imminent from the noose above. This is Gardner Fox's 'The Man the Sun Gods Made' rendered in full planetary romance fury: alien civilizations, divine power, and a damsel in mortal peril packed into one explosive Winter 1946 cover bursting with saturated greens, golds, and crimson.
Oh BUDDY — a golden sun god, a noose, a ray gun, a woman in a red bikini, AND a crowd of alien hordes all on one cover?! This is the absolute fever-pitch peak of Fiction House planetary romance excess — someone turned every dial to maximum and then snapped the knob off!
