This is the cover of the pulp magazine Weird Tales from May 1934. The title appears at the top, and a small price tag reading May 25¢ is on the right. In the bottom left corner, it says “Queen of the Black Coast,” described as “A tale of mystery, fantasy, intrigue by Robert E. Howard.” The cover also lists other authors featured in the magazine: Anthony Rud, Carl Jacobi, C. L. Moore, and A. W. Bernal.

On the right side, a bald, demonic figure with large black feathered wings swoops down. The creature has sharp, claw-like hands reaching toward a couple below. The couple clings to each other, and the man holds a small dagger in his left hand, pointing it at the monster.
