EDITORS COMMENTS
December 1943: A Couple's Encounter with the Unusual - Spawn of the Glacier In the frosty winter of 1943, the pages of Fantastic Adventures magazine offered readers a thrilling escape from reality with the publication of Leroy Yerxa's science fiction tale, "Spawn of the Glacier." This cover, illustrated by an unknown artist, showcases the moment of discovery for an unsuspecting couple as they encounter four little green-suited fairies emerging from black, floating bubbles. The young woman in a long blue dress stands in front of two surprised men, her eyes wide with wonder and disbelief. The man on the left, dressed in a suit and hat, holds out a hand in astonishment, while the man on the right, wearing a coat and scarf, gazes at the otherworldly beings with a mixture of fear and fascination. The fairies, with their oversized heads and tiny bodies, cling to their bubbles, seemingly unsure of their new surroundings. The cover art, with its odd, bizarre, and unusual depiction of fairies, perfectly encapsulates the spirit of pulp science fiction and the sense of wonder and excitement that filled the genre during this era. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to imagine the awe and curiosity that must have gripped readers as they turned the pages of Fantastic Adventures and delved into the strange and fantastical worlds that lay within.
