SCIENCE FICTION JR.

A helmet nearly covered his raven black hair. In his gnarled hand was a weird gleaming sword and as he brought his huge, muscled arms down on me; before I felt of his cold, hungry steel I realized drunkenly that it was.....Mars, God of War.

OF WHAT USE IS SCIENCE FICTION?
"Why should you buy such utterly fantastic material to read?" Ask skeptics.
"Of what good is it?" Ask others.
The answer is relaxation, occupation of time and the source of other's imaginations. We all love a good book, true, but who in the world doesn't love a good magazine. Everyone wants to know what is going on in other peoples' minds thus came SCIENCE FICTION. It really is imagination on paper--so the summarized answer is answered, curiosity and wholesome, clean, imagination.

A DREAM
By
Edward Reid (From May 1934 Amazing Stories)

O' conquered is space,
And Eons away
Lies the gauzy lace
Of the milky way.

A starry Circe
To hypnotize,
A new-born curse
In a woman's eyes.

And man goes forth
With tight-lipped mouth,
Where is no North
And never a South.

But straight and fleet
To the Southern Cross
A glad retreat
From Earthly dross.

For conquered is space,
And eons away
Lies the gauzy lace
of the milky Way.
