SPACE STORIES, DECEMBER 1952
 |
| Artwork by Earle Bergey. |
I can't help but admire the reserved tastefulness of this cover. At a time when most females appearing on pulp magazine covers were in a state of undress, wearing see-through or barely-there space bikini, or in peril of the most ridiculous nature (at the hands of an equally improbable fiend) this painting - by Earle K. Bergey (who painted precisely those things) may have seemed bland in its day, but is all the more outstanding today.

STARWOLF #1 - THE WEAPON FROM BEYOND
 |
| Artwork by Jack Gaughan, Ace paperback, 1967. |
Rear-cover synopsis:
"Morgan Chane was an Earthman by parentage, but he had been born on the pirate-world Varna, whose heavy gravity had developed strength and incredibly quick reflexes in him. When he was old enough, he joined the raider-ships that looted the starworlds, and fought side by side with the dreaded Starwolves of Varna. But then there was a fight among them. Chane killed their leader, and the other Starwolves turned on him. He barely got away alive - wounded near death, his Starwolf pursuers following him across the galaxy. And there was nowhere he could seek refuge, for no world would lift a hand to save one of the hated Starwolves."
