“When the laws of evolution go mad and the world is in grim peril of total chaos, Lincoln Bax and a brave band of human survivors battle against forces beyond man’s understanding!” [From the Prologue]

“Suppose the war took a sudden turn for the worse from the scientific point of view? Suppose some bright scientist on the enemy side found a truly terrible weapon? This was John Russell Fearn's main premise for ‘Aftermath,’ written two years before the end of the Second World War.” – Google

Artist Earle Bergey became strongly associated with the pulps, particularly Startling magazine. He painted almost every cover for Startling between 1942 and 1952. He was known for equipping his heroines with brass bras and implausible costumes, and the public image of science fiction in his day was partly created by his work for the pulps.

Author John Russell Fearn (writing as Vargo Statten) is best known for his novelization of the all-time favorite monster film, "Creature from the Black Lagoon" (1954).

“The Golden Beast of Zuli’Maen” by John Peter Drummond.

“The plea of a prince, and a key that could make a king brought Ki-Gor, White Lord of the Jungle, and his golden mate, Helene, to the forgotten city of Zuli’Maen. Treachery welcomed them, and a deathless god who thirsted for their blood. The White Jungle Lord alone and weaponless, fought a weird battle – with a choice, if he won, of dying at the side of his golden mate, Helene, or watching her die alone.”

“Planet Stories” was launched at the same time as “Planet Comics” and ran for 71 issues between 1939 and 1955. It didn’t pay enough to attract the best authors to its pages on a regular basis but it did manage to attract well-known names on occasion, including Ray Bradbury, Leigh Brackett, Isaac Asimov, Clifford Simak and Philip K. Dick. The artwork emphasized attractive women, with scantily clad damsels in distress or alien princesses on almost every cover.
