Science Fiction Quarterly vol. 1, no. 9 (December 1942)
This somehow embodies a lot of deep, almost Freudian themes of science fiction, the human body merging with machinery/weapons, and not for nothing, an attractive body at that. This resonates for me with Japanese stuff like Evangelion.

Not sure if this depiction is racist or not, is it a Black person or some kind of spooky apparition who happens to be black?
The contrasting very white person in the foreground isn't showing much concern for the guy in the Hershey's-kisses hat, is she?
