Famous Fantastic Mysteries vol. 13, no. 4 (June 1952)

This is wild! I particularly like the optical illusion which punishes me for looking at her cleavage by making it into a skull.

Somehow that axe has been handed down through time, I'm guessing?

In the background, a Viking holding an axe; in the centre a woman seen waist up whose dress and hands, held in front of her carrying a similar axe, form the illusion of a skull. In front of both these, an anguished looking man carrying the same axe. Famous Fantastic Mysteries magazine cover from 1952. Famous Fantastic Mysteries vol. 13, no. 4 (1952/06).
