EDITORS COMMENTS
November 1946: A Chilling Encounter with the Shadow of the Sphinx This haunting cover of Fantastic Adventures magazine from November 1946, featuring the story "Shadow of the Sphinx" by William Lawrence Hamling, captures the essence of pulp fiction's odd, weird, and bizarre tales. The image presents a young, beautiful woman with a seductive look, seemingly oblivious to the creepy and spooky presence behind her. A skeleton, with a scary and menacing expression, reaches out to lay its hand on her shoulder. The skeleton's long, gnarled fingers seem to promise an uncertain fate. The cover art, an excellent representation of the strange and unusual stories within, perfectly sets the tone for the science fiction and fantasy readers of the time. The juxtaposition of beauty and fear, life and death, is a common theme in pulp fiction and adds to the allure of these stories. "Shadow of the Sphinx" by William Lawrence Hamling is a tale of adventure and intrigue, filled with the unknown and the unexplained. The story, published in the pages of Fantastic Adventures, would have transported readers to far-off lands and otherworldly realms, offering them a thrilling escape from the mundane. This cover, with its chilling image and intriguing title, is a testament to the enduring appeal of pulp fiction and the timeless allure of the strange and unusual. The haunting image of the skeleton's hand on the woman's shoulder serves as a reminder that even in the darkest of tales, there is always a sense of adventure and excitement to be found.
