When my friend and I were kids, she had this old beat up book that was full of Zodiac readings. Dream Interpretations, The meaning of Moles and Idk what else. It didn't have a cover and the pages were coming out, but we treasured it.
Turns out it was just an old Almanac.

But I've developed an appreciation for woodcut illustration from it.

Until recently Leigh Brackett's character Eric Stark was always illustrated as a white guy. Even though in the books he's described as having skin as dark as his hair.

Here's white Eric.
The thing is, pulp cover artists didn't always read the book themselves, having very little information to work with resorted to taking stabs in the dark.
(Their were no tentacles)
But then, the title of pulp fiction was often irrelevant. Something that sounded fantastical so people would pick it up.
In this case, title spoiled the book. The mysterious hooded character in black was a girl!
