Startling Stories - When New York Vanished
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Henry Kuttner, published in 1940, presents a chilling image of a large, robotic alien insect, imprisoned under a glass dome in the heart of New York City. The once bustling metropolis is now a backdrop to this otherworldly scene, serving as a stark reminder of the unexpected twists and turns that the world of science fiction can bring. Two male scientists, dressed in lab coats and goggles, are seen in the foreground, intently studying the creature. One scientist aims a ray gun, its ominous glow illuminating the room, while the other prepares a notebook and pen. The scientists' expressions are focused and determined, as they work to unravel the mysteries of this extraterrestrial being. The alien insect, with its multiple legs and menacing mandibles, appears to be in a state of agitation, struggling against the confines of its glass prison. Its large, compound eyes seem to be pleading for mercy, or perhaps understanding, as it becomes the unwilling subject of these experiments. The date on the image, 1940, serves as a reminder of the era in which this story was published, a time when the boundaries of science and imagination were being pushed in new and exciting ways. The image captures the essence of the science fiction genre, with its blend of wonder, fear, and curiosity, and invites us to ponder the possibilities of what lies beyond our own world. This image, with its intriguing storyline and vivid details, is a testament to the enduring power of science fiction to transport us to new and fantastical realms. It is a reminder that the unknown is always just beyond the horizon, waiting to be explored and understood.
