Weird Tales — May/June/July 1924 issue (Volume IV – Number 2), the "Anniversary Number," priced at 50 cents. Cover story: "Imprisoned with the Pharaohs" by Houdini (ghostwritten by H.P. Lovecraft). Cover art by R.M. Mally. A painted desert scene at Giza under a hazy sky of lavender, dusty pink, and pale cream, with scattered bluish-white clouds. At center-left, the Great Sphinx rises in profile in blue-grey and slate tones with reddish-brown shadows between weathered stone blocks. Its eroded face gazes left. Behind it, two pyramids stand on the sand: a smaller ochre pyramid in the middle distance, and a larger triangular pyramid at right in deep plum, olive, and charcoal. A third, smaller pyramid sits faintly on the horizon. The sand plain is streaked with dusty rose, mauve, and pale tan. In the lower right foreground, two small figures stand on a rocky outcrop: one in a pale-green robe and turban, the other seated in white. At lower left, a tiny camel with rider crosses the desert. The artist's monogram appears at bottom right. The ornate black script logo "Weird Tales" arches across the top, with "THE UNIQUE MAGAZINE" below in block letters. Black and pink text at right reads "IMPRISONED WITH the PHARAOHS by HOUDINI in this issue." A cream box at lower left announces "ANNIVERSARY NUMBER 50c — FIFTY DISTINCT FEATURE NOVELS, SHORT STORIES AND NOVELETTES. THRILLS! MYSTERY! ADVENTURE!" The left spine reads "MAY, JUNE, JULY, 1924"; the right spine reads "Vol. IV, No. 2. 50c."

Art by R. M. Mally.

Weird Tales — March 1924 issue (Volume III – Number 3). Featured story: "The Spirit Fakers of Hermannstadt" by Houdini, billed as "The Most Miraculous True Story Ever Written." Cover art signed "Mally" at lower right, by R. M. Mally. The illustration depicts a muscular, nearly nude man standing in a dim stone chamber, turned in three-quarter profile toward the right. He has short, slicked-back black hair and a stern, downcast expression with closed eyes. Heavy black leather-and-iron manacles bind his wrists together in front of his hips; matching cuffs encircle his upper arms and ankles, connected by thick dark chains that loop and drape to the ground. His skin is rendered in warm peach and orange tones, highlighted on the chest, shoulder, and thigh where a narrow shaft of pale yellow light angles down from the upper right. The background is a murky gradient of olive green, dark brown, and near-black, suggesting dank earthen walls. At the figure's bare feet on the dirt floor lie scattered human remains: a pale grey-white skull tipped forward with hollow eye sockets, a skeletal hand thrust upward with splayed fingers, and further bones fading into shadow at lower right. The logo "Weird Tales" arcs across the top in bold white script outlined in red-orange, above the red subtitle "THE UNIQUE MAGAZINE." Centered at right, white and red block text presents the story title and byline. The lower banner displays "MARCH 1924" and "25¢" in bold red-orange serif lettering.

#Introduction Hi folks!

I'm Maren, a nonbinary designer, 3D artist and illustrator. Experimental is one of my favorite words! I love making colorful, unexpected pieces that explore mediums, materials, textures, and complex feelings. I love ethical art and tech. I post a lot about human rights and activism. I love using #Blender and I'm studying #Houdini.
