…however, segueing from my prior post, here are two fine examples of Finlay’s digest-format dual-page compositions, again for Amazing Stories. Though perhaps bit more cramped than in startling or thrilling pulps of larger size, the artist still managed to impart the same level of detail to his work.
As in the prior post, both images were downloaded as single pages from the Pulp Magazine Archive, spliced together, and then edited.
