Octavo, single issue, cover by Chester Martin, pictorial wrappers. Pulp magazine. Includes "Lorelei of the Red Mist" by Leigh Bracket and Ray Bradbury. This issue also includes "The Million Year Picnic," the first published story in the series that would later become THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES. Unabashedly the magazine was a proponent of "space-opera." In Leigh Brackett's introduction in the anthology THE BEST OF PLANET STORIES (1974) she states "the so-called space opera is the folk-tale, the hero-tale of our particular niche in history." [Reference: Tymm and Ashley, Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Weird Fiction Magazines, pp. 476-481]. Closed tear and crease to lower right front cover, light damp stain to upper right front edge, some dark spotting to upper and lower front cover, some separation of the upper front cover edge from spine, a very good copy. (23858).
