Art by Frank R. Paul for “The War of the Planets” by R. H. Romans in “Wonder Stories Quarterly,” Vol. 1, No.4 (Summer 1930).

“The Martians would carry their helpless victims in an immovable condition, aboard their long ships, storing them away until food was scarce.”

 

(Reminiscent of H. G Wells’ 1897 novel “War of the Worlds,” whose Martians fed on human blood, and of the 1959 gastronomic episode entitled “To Serve Man” on the Twilight Zone.)
