Not only were Pulp magazines the province of strange men with wild imaginations, scratching away in deep, dark places. In the case of this 1933 Weird Tales #119 (Vol. 22, #5) issues, the fairer sex has come through bigtime, with an alluring cover by artist Margaret Brundage. This ninety-year-old classic was well worth the princely Depression era price of 25 cents, on the merits of Brundage's cover work alone. Bordering upon the realm of pin-ups, this colorful cover depicts a sultry siren caressing a skull, which is perhaps all that is left of her late-evening meal. For modern collectors, CGC encapsulation with a decent (2.0, Off-White Pages) grade, makes it an easy purchase call. Factor in stories by Edmond Hamilton, Clark Ashton Smith, Henry Kuttner, and Weird Tales first-timer C.L. Moore, plus the first appearance of Northwest Smith, and you've got a real winner on your hands.
