Coming of the Giant Germs
This was the first and only issue. It also included Beyond Hell, The Earth-Stealers, and Speed Will Be My Bride, and included interior art by Jack Kirby, Joe Simon and Alex Schomburg.
The cover itself is a bit of a mystery. The ISFDB and Wikipedia lists it as a Norman Saunders, but NormanSaunders.com disagrees, and to me it looks nothing like Saunders’ work. ComicsBookStories has it tagged as H.J. Ward, which looks slightly more plausible, but still seems unlikely.
UPDATE: It’s John Walter Scott!

The Slithering Shadow
Fritz Leiber rated The Slithering Shadow (a.k.a. Xuthal of the Dusk) among the worst of the Conan stories, calling it “repetitious and childish, a self-vitiating brew of pseudo-science, stage illusions, and the ‘genuine’ supernatural.” However, that didn’t stop this original Margaret Brundage painting for selling for $42,000.
