Okay, here's the deal. I can forgive the yellow used here. Why? Because the cover uses the six sided star that is supposed to be engraved in the setting under the famous fire opal. This is iconic, in my opinion and it certainly, for that reason only, ranks very highly on my favorite covers. As to the story, it was originally submitted as "Death Millions" in October of '33, and was not published until June of '34. Again, Mr. Gibson really was prolific. As always, if you want to acquaint yourself with this story, click here for a review.
