UK Edition Released in 1942 Weird Tales (number 1) circa 1942-43: London: Gerald G. Swan (64pp+, 6¾" x 9¾", artist Ray Quigley) printed on wartime paper stock, a deep grey paper, though in a blue wash rather than full colour. Contents are as follows:
Contents page credits last entry as by Maisie Nelson and spells the
title as "Temple In Samakand", a verse. The cover borrowed from the US
edition, credits Gordon Keyne as a contributor; the UK edition does not
include this author.
The cover image kind of reminds me of the Liberty Magazine cover of October 15, 1938, just two years earlier. While it's not quite the match that the September 1944 Weird Tales cover shares with an earlier artist's work, this seems to be a case of creative inspiration. |
