EDITORS COMMENTS
by Alexander Blade, published in 1949, showcases an exhilarating and otherworldly scene of two intrepid men parachuting over a formidable mountain range. The men, dressed in flying gear, are in awe of the breathtaking sight before them: a colossal jewel, larger than any known diamond, glowing with an otherworldly light. The man on the left, shielding his eyes from the jewel's powerful glare, maintains a steady gaze, while the man on the right, closer to the source of the light, battles against the burning effect it has on his parachute. The light, shining so brightly, threatens to engulf the man and his parachute, creating an intense contrast between the cool mountain landscape and the fiery jewel. This stunning cover art, reminiscent of science fiction and fantasy pulp magazines of the era, invites us to imagine a world where the impossible becomes reality. The men's determined expressions and their precarious position in the sky above the mountain range, combined with the mysterious and enchanting jewel, evoke a sense of adventure and discovery. The title, "Fantastic Adventures: Eye of the World," hints at the gateway to a new world or even a gateway to hell, adding to the intrigue and excitement. Alexander Blade's masterful use of light and shadow, along with the vivid colors and dynamic composition, make this image a true work of art and a testament to the power of the human spirit to explore the unknown. This iconic cover art continues to captivate audiences and remains a beloved piece of science fiction and fantasy history.
