EDITORS COMMENTS
Cover: The Sword of Ra, February 1951 This cover of "Fantastic Adventures" magazine, published in February 1951, showcases an intriguing scene from the story "The Sword of Ra" by Geoff St. Reynard. The image presents a sense of impending danger and otherworldly intrigue as three men, dressed in exotic Egyptian garb, gaze intently at a beautiful young woman. Her eyes are closed in acceptance, as if she is resigned to her fate. The men's expressions convey a mix of awe, concern, and determination. Behind the group, an Egyptian priest stands tall and resolute, his face obscured by shadow. He holds a ceremonial knife, ready to begin the mummification process. The golden sarcophagus and ancient artifacts in the background further emphasize the historical and cultural significance of the scene. The title of the story, "The Sword of Ra," is prominently displayed at the top of the cover, accompanied by the tagline, "Another Weird Tale of the Unusual!" The cover art, with its rich colors and bold lines, effectively conveys the odd, bizarre, and strange nature of the pulp fiction story within. The image transports us to a land of ancient Egypt, filled with mystery, adventure, and the supernatural. This cover is a testament to the enduring appeal of pulp fiction and its ability to transport readers to far-off lands and fantastic realms. The image invites us to delve into the pages of "Fantastic Adventures" and explore the wonders and mysteries that await within.
