Astounding vol. 6, no. 2 (May 1931)
This is a pretty low-res image but I can't find a better one—I'll let it get posted just for the adorably goofy, googly-eyed monster. Has it somehow spider-webbed the space ship or was that some other bug?

In the year of the city 2274, the remnants of human civilization live in a sealed city beneath a cluster of geodesic domes, a utopia run by computer. The citizens live a hedonistic lifestyle, but when they turn 30 must enter the "Carrousel", a public ritual that destroys their bodies, under the pretense they would be "Renewed" or reborn.

Creepy no. 02 (1965)
Creepy number two! This is really intense and the composition and lighting are terrific. I could wish for the central guy's eyes not to be terrifying though, because whose side am I on? He's almost as scary as the beasts.
