Fantastic Adventures May, 1950

Another sexy cover, featuring a plant devouring a woman. The woman has large breasts, and her top is coming off. Her shorts are skin-tight. This type of drawing seemed to be rather popular with artists.

There's an ad right away for the Rosicrucians.

The Editor's Notebook: A Confidential Chat with the Editor

The Mental Assassins: “Of all the adventures he had faced in his day, none seemed so perilous as going into a man's dreams as a hired assassin!”

Teleported Invasion (about one page in length)

The Grav-Dancers (about half a page in length)

Elementals of Jedar: “Jedar was inhabited by a seemingly rudimentary life form-so natural the stranded spacemen thought they were safe.”

Then there are three pieces of half a page in length: The Monsters, Best-Dressed Man-1980, and Pi-Romaniacs. Sometimes these are short stories, and sometimes they are factual articles.

Vanguard of the Lost: “Alien ships landing on Earth could mean but one thing: invasion. But as men watched in fear, a strange thing happened.”

Fido: “Man has his pets and becomes fond of them through long attachment. But there aer others who desire the companionship-of man!”

Three more mini-pieces: the Mine-Layer, Quiet-Please, and Saboteur

The Remarkable Flirgleflip: “A naked man appearing on the streets of Washington was a strange occurrence-but how he got there was stranger still.”

Spawn of Darkness: “One moment he was in the center of a terrible battle, the next he had vanished from sight. Had the darkness claimed him?”
