Monster of the Day #3388

Am I high, or this is very familiar? I'm thinking it's a repainted sci-fi skin of a Man's Adventure cover (I mean, look at the native) with a guy fighting an upright komodo dragon or somesuch. My memory isn't the best, but the guy's face in the helmet certainly looks like it might have…

Pulp covers! Neat! Cover story by the well known German author Manly Wade Wellman. One thing that is very evident about the German sci-fi pulps is that they are *much* less likely to incorporate a sexy female on the cover. I guess in a country that had actual porn you didn't need that sort…

About out the door to do four hours of work, then off to the airport to catch my flight to Houston. (Going to Dallas on Friday.) So last MotD for a week. Enjoy!
