“Wonder Stories Quarterly,” Vol. 1, No. 4 (Summer 1930). Cover art by Frank R. Paul depicting a scene from Henrik Dahl Juve’s “The Monsters of Neptune.”
“The monster raises a tremendous rock to hurl it at the battered spaceship, while the doomed explorers vainly shoot their little bullets at the impenetrable scales of the gigantic beast. . .
“Our author seems to improve with each story. In the present interplanetarian story we get the adventures of two explorers on Neptune, one of the little-known planets of our solar system.
“Mr. Juve has that rare ability of making his story live; for he has studied the atmosphere of the places he writes about and given us that ‘local color’ which is so necessary when describing a strange planet. . . He has not only given us a vivid picture of life on a planet wholly different than ours, but he has provided a story full of dramatic situations and thrilling adventures.”
