This is one of the absolute pinnacles of Golden Age science fiction collecting: an original copy of Fantastic Novels Magazine from November 1940. This landmark issue is highly coveted because it features a legendary, museum-grade front cover illustrated directly by the grandmaster of stipple art, Virgil Finlay, depicting the headlining characters from "The Snake Mother" by fantasy icon A. Merritt.
The front cover retains vivid, bright colours with the iconic Finlay artwork largely intact, but shows wear including corner blunting and edge wear. The back cover shows creasing, and surface loss. The spine shows age-appropriate toning and wear consistent with an 80-year-old pulp.
