A war veteran becomes slave to a sorcerer whose agenda is unclear. It's the first installment of Skull-Face by Robert E. Howard, from the October 1929 issue of Weird Tales!

Virgil Finlay illustrating Fletcher Pratt's "The Conditioned Captain" from Startling Stories, May 1953. The original page ran vertically but I feel it looks better horizontally.

Otis Adelbert Kline's Lord of the Lamia, serialised in Weird Tales in 1935. Lamia was an ancient Libyan queen. She can transform herself into a cobra. If her mummy can be revived she will become the slave of the man who awakens her. Fun stuff.

Virgil Finlay cover painting for the November, 1959 issue of Fantastic Universe. Another fine Finlay obscured by excessive text.

I've been reading some C. L. Moore stories recently. My habit seems to be read a story, read about the author, draw the author, read more about them, read another story, and so on. Gathered up some of those links and posted them here along with my sketch: patreon.com/posts/85978347

meets part 2

Virgil Finlay cover painting for Fantastic Universe, July, 1957, which I guess is kinda-sorta illustrating August Derleth's Cthulhu Mythos story which was later changed to "The Seal of R'lyeh." I don't remember any mirror-obsessed mermaids from that but part of it does take place in the sea!
