Weird Tales vol 09 number 03 (March 1927) - featured story: The CITY of GLASS by JOEL MARTIN NICHOLS JR. Cover art by C. C. Senf. Weird Tales vol 09 number 03 (March 1927) The Unique Magazine. 25 cents. A large, blue-skinned humanoid figure with white hair, white eyebrows, and large, white eyes with dark pupils stands on the left. It has a wide mouth with visible white teeth, a small, dark nose, and blue-textured skin. One hand with long, thick fingers is near a woman's right shoulder. The figure's body is covered in blue hair. A light-toned woman with long, reddish-brown hair stands on the right, wearing a white, sleeveless top and a long, light pink skirt. Her right arm is raised toward the humanoid, and her left hand is extended outward. She is positioned in front of a vertical, white and grey column with a cracked surface. Behind the figures is a dark blue background with white, horizontal, wavy lines near the top. The bottom of the image is a dark brown, opaque area. A solid red border surrounds the central illustration. The text is white with dark outlines. The magazine title is at the top in a large, serif font. The story title and author name are in the lower section of the central illustration.

Proletarian Nights in Archie Hind’s The Dear Green Place Authors Corey Gibson, University of Glasgow Abstract This article argues for a reappraisal of Archie Hind's landmark Glasgow novel The Dear Green Place (1966), which represents the conflation and combination of long histories of class formation with the grind of everyday labours, and a provocation about the possibilities, limitations, and contradictions of working-class artistry in twentieth-century Scotland.
