EDITORS COMMENTS
This image hails from the pages of Startling Stories, a seminal science fiction and fantasy pulp magazine published in 1941. The cover art, titled "The Bottom of the World," features an intriguing scene of three reptile-like aliens surrendering to two intrepid space explorers. Each explorer, dressed in futuristic gear, holds a menacing gun at the ready, ensuring the aliens' compliance. The aliens' lizard-like features, with their scaly skin, sharp teeth, and piercing eyes, evoke a sense of otherworldliness and awe. Behind the explorers stands a regal alien figure, the emperor, observing the scene with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. The emperor's grand attire, adorned with intricate patterns and glowing jewels, underscores his status as a powerful and enigmatic ruler. The backdrop of a barren, rocky landscape further emphasizes the sense of discovery and adventure. This striking cover art was created by the collaborative efforts of John C. Burroughs and Hulbert Burroughs, two talented artists who brought the imaginative worlds of Startling Stories to life. Their work, along with the captivating stories within the magazine, transported readers to new realms of science fiction and fantasy, fueling their imaginations and inspiring a lifelong love of the genre. This image is an enduring testament to the power of science fiction and fantasy to captivate and transport us to far-off worlds and extraordinary encounters. The guns held by the explorers may symbolize the power of human ingenuity and the will to explore the unknown, but it is the sense of wonder and discovery that truly defines this iconic cover.
