Saturday's random pulp cover: The Spider : "The Song of Death"_February, 1939


 With so much action going on, why do the main figures feel so static?  An attractive enough cover but if one really takes a moment, it feels like it has been pieced together.  The lady in red is both hanging from his neck and being supported by his right forearm.  And, oh yeah, he's firing a gun from behind her as well.  This just doesn't work for me, and that's a shame.
