Red April
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Hauntingly Prophetic Cover from Wonder Stories Science Fiction Magazine, 1965 In the April 1965 issue of Wonder Stories Science Fiction Magazine, a chilling cover image captured the imagination of readers with its ominous depiction of intergalactic conflict. The cover, titled "Red April," features a menacing scene of three enemy spaceships unleashing a destructive ray towards an unsuspecting American spacecraft. The American vessel, engulfed in flames, is helpless against the onslaught of the alien attack. The title "Red April" adds an ominous tone, suggesting a catastrophic event on the horizon. The cover art, created by the talented Frank Kelly, is a masterful blend of science fiction and fantasy. The use of bold, contrasting colors and dynamic angles creates a sense of tension and urgency. The spinning ball of energy emanating from the enemy ships adds a sense of mystery and otherworldliness, while the fiery destruction of the American spaceship grounds the image in reality. Despite the cover's ominous tone, it is interesting to note that the image is actually dated 1932, several decades before the publication date of the magazine. This discrepancy only adds to the intrigue of the cover, as it raises questions about the origins of the image and its significance in the context of the science fiction genre in the 1960s. Overall, "Red April" is a hauntingly prophetic cover that continues to captivate and inspire science fiction fans to this day. Its depiction of intergalactic conflict and the potential dangers of alien encounters remains a timely and thought-provoking reminder of the genre's enduring appeal.
