The cover for Uncanny Magazine Issue 70, "Ocean Swell" by Julie Dillon: A beaded man with his white shirt open to reveal his chest sits in a wooden rowboat with the remnants of faded green paint. He looks up, perhaps in awe or shock as a giant, cresting wave of dark blue-green water looms over him. In white text is the "Uncanny" banner, "May/June 2026," Issue Seventy," and the artist, writer, essayist, poets, and Uncanny staff credits.
