THE EDITOR'S OPINION:

We wish to thank Mort Weisinger of THRILLING WONDER STORIES for obtaining the front cover for us and to thank FRANK R PAUL who drew it. We think the cover represents the best drawing (black & white) that PAUL has done for some time. We feel proud to be able to present such a fine cover.
