Venus in fiction

(

)

Venus appears in many pulp science fiction stories. Seen here is the winter 1939 cover of Planet Stories, featuring "Gold Amazons of Venus".

... that classic depictions of Venus in fiction often portrayed it as a lush, verdant paradise, an oceanic planet, or fetid swampland, inhabited by dinosaur-like beasts? Source: https://www.nytimes.com/1978/05/28/archives/growing-up-with.html and others
- ALT1: ... that from the mid-20th century, as the reality of Venus' harsh surface conditions became known, the early tropes of adventures in Venusian tropics gave way to more realistic stories? Source: numerous sources listed at the end of the first paragraph "Later depictions: hostile inferno". Ex. https://sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/venus

QPQ: Done.

Overall: There's quite a lot going on in the 1939 image but I think it's clear enough to use at 100px. (If admins disagree, maybe the 1950 image could be used instead?) There's documentation on the 1939 image's Wikicommons page that I believe is good evidence that the picture is public domain. It would be good to see some ALT text for images per MOS:ALT - or maybe "alt=refer to caption" for the third and fourth images. I reviewed the three matches above 1% on Earwig's Copyvio Detector - no concerns. Both proposed hooks are fine - I prefer ALT1. Approving as I don't think the lack of text is a blocker for DYK. Thanks to editors who helped get this to GA. 10:33, 11 August 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by BennyOnTheLoose (talk • contribs)
