October 1949: A Thrilling Encounter with the 'Octopus of Space' in Fantastic Adventures In this cover image from the October 1949 issue of Fantastic Adventures, we find ourselves peering into the round window of a submerged submarine, where our eyes are immediately drawn to the extraordinary scene unfolding before us. The tense atmosphere is palpable as a man in a wet suit, clinging to the edge of the porthole, watches in awe and apprehension as another man battles a colossal octopus from the depths of space. The unusual setting adds an otherworldly element to the already bizarre and intriguing encounter. The cover art for this issue, titled 'The Octopus of Space,' was created by the talented Alexander Blade. This pulp fiction magazine, known for its science fiction and fantasy stories, had a rich history of showcasing imaginative and thought-provoking artwork on its covers. This particular image, with its odd, weird, and unusual depiction of a man-versus-monster battle taking place in the vastness of space, perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the genre and the captivating stories within. As we gaze at this image, we are transported to a realm of science fiction and adventure, where the boundaries of reality are pushed and the impossible becomes possible. The man in the submarine, along with the reader, is a witness to the strange and fantastical, as the battle between man and the 'Octopus of Space' rages on, leaving us on the edge of our seats, eager to discover the outcome.
