OriginalAlex Schomburg illustration to Harl Vincent's 1939 story Newscast, from Marvel Science Stories April-May 1939.
Reason
A nice example of 1930s sci-fi illustrations; very useful for illustrating both the work of the illustrator (decades before any other examples we had) and for the author. Interior art is actually rarer to find than exterior for these kinds of magazines.
Articles in which this image appears
Alex Schomburg, Harl Vincent. Both are newly added, but both add quite a bit to the articles, so I can't see them not sticking. Plus, neither article could be considered a hotbed of activity.([1][2])
