Ray Cummings, "The Thing from Mars" in THRILLING WONDER Stories, August, 1938; Better Publications, Vol. XII, No. 1. [Edited by Mortimer Weisinger.] Pulp magazine, in GOOD condition. [++] Cover art by Brown for "The Exterminators" by Frederic Arnold Kummer, Jr. Includes "Doom World" by Henry Kuttner; "The Green Ray" by Arthur Leo Zagat; "The Satanic Cysts" by Paul Chadwick; "Catalyst Planet" by Raymond A. Palmer; "The Thing from Mars" by Ray Cummings; "Via Death" by Gordon A. Giles (Otto Binder); "Song of the Shadow Death" by Robert Moore Williams. Of particular and unexpected interest (to me, anyway) is Nobelist Sir William Bragg's article "The Nature of Things"--funny to see this here surrounded by all the scifi. [++] Of extended interest here is the Cummings story ("The Thing from Mars") which was the basis for the John Carpenter 1982 film called, "The Thing".
