EDITORS COMMENTS
This cover design for the September 1947 issue of Startling Stories, a science fiction pulp magazine, showcases the imaginative and thought-provoking stories within its pages. The image, created by renowned artist Keith Hammond, features a muscular, determined man standing defiantly against a backdrop of ominous storm clouds and towering skyscrapers. The man, illuminated by the electric crackle of a colossal lightning bolt, exudes a sense of strength and resilience in the face of the chaotic elements. The cover art perfectly encapsulates the spirit of science fiction, blending the realms of the natural world and the fantastical. The contrast between the man's human form and the abstract, swirling patterns of the storm creates an intriguing juxtaposition. The title "Startling Stories" is emblazoned boldly across the top, inviting readers to delve into the extraordinary tales that await. The date of September 1947 is prominently displayed, marking this issue as a product of the 1940s - an era of innovation and discovery in both science and science fiction. The cover design is a testament to the enduring allure of science fiction, with its promise of adventure, exploration, and the unknown. Notable authors whose works graced the pages of Startling Stories during this time include Stanley G. Weinbaum, whose stories often explored the boundaries of science and the human condition. This cover design by Keith Hammond is a stunning representation of the captivating and thought-provoking stories that Startling Stories brought to its readers in the late 1940s.
