Sorry, I couldn’t get the thumbnail to load.
Back to Weird Tales. As the magazine flourished, it still jumped around a lot regarding cover subjects. While imperiled, half-dressed women were basically a mainstay by the 1930s (it’s hard to casually track the issue numbers, since the magazine didn’t use them, and often didn’t even put the year on the covers), the cover art still varied between comparatively prosaic Men’s Adventure sort of material, to Conan-like barbarian with wizards and monsters cover, to even gothic horror. It’s quite possible this refusal to stick to one sort of story, however, was part of the reason for the periodical’s success.
