Octavo, single issue, pictorial wrappers. Pulp magazine. This copy signed by editor Donald A. Wollheim. Interplanetary adventure and space opera were to be the main story themes of this short lived magazine, coming near the end of the pulp era. Authors included are Ray Cummings, A. E. Van Vogt, Lester del Rey, William Tenn and others. Also includes a illustrated comic book section with art by Joe Kubert in several of the stories and a Conan pastiche, "Crom the Barbarian" written by Gardner Fox with art by John Giunta. This Conan pastiche appears to be one of the earliest, if not the first sword and sorcery in comic form, and it does also appear to be the first depiction of a Conan like character, certainly influenced by Robert E. Howard. [Reference: Tymm and Ashley, Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Weird Fiction Magazines, pp. 467-471]. Text paper tanned but supple, several tiny edge tears, a fine copy. (32199).
