Beast Suitor & Beauty: Fantastic Adventures Jan Cover, 'Devil's Pigs'
A monstrous, hunched creature — part ape, part demon — leans toward a voluptuous auburn-haired woman in flowing white and red robes, clutching a rose between its clawed fingers as if offering it in grotesque courtship. The woman gazes back with uneasy calm, roses scattered at their feet against a lurid green-and-purple sky. Beauty and the Beast filtered through pulp horror sensibility, dripping with implied menace and barely-contained savagery.
Oh buddy, this is the real deal — a slavering beast offering a rose to a doe-eyed beauty under a fever-green sky, and it costs a quarter! The color saturation alone could stop a heart; whoever painted this knew exactly what they were doing.
