Description

From the Finlay estate, this unused cover prelim for Fantastic Universe was a cool concept, but it just didn't make the grade. I love the idea of some huge monster trampling the astronauts landing site, but it might have been more compelling to see the monster during his attack as the hapless explorers run for their lives while their ride home is destroyed!

So grim! The monster's tracks and death and destruction in full view.
