Planet Stories January 1945

The Vizigraph: editorial material.

Citadel of the Green Death: “At the coldly gleaming Experimental Station they flung this choice in Outlaw Joel Hakkyt's teeth: 'Grinding, endless slavery on Asgard, that Alpha Centauri hell-or a writing, screaming, guinea-pig's death here?' He chose Asgard, naturally. But what was natural on Asgard?”

When Kohonnes Screamed: “Kohonnes breathed out across his little world and made the waters back up and the stones crawl and the trees write abominably. Why couldn't he distort men's souls also?”

Mars is Heaven! by Ray Bradbury: “You won't believe this story, which is a strange thing to say. Captain John Black and his crew didn't believe it either, but they saw it through. And so will you.”

Preview of Peril: “Nobody knew into what awful dimension the Mannsehen Drive would hurl their first test-ship-nobody but Martin Wayne. And he found out too late-or was it too soon?”

Against the Stone Beasts: “Down the time-track tumbled Andreson, to land in a continuum of ghastly matter-and-space reversal-and find a love that shattered the very laws of life!”

Brooklyn Project: “The last and greatest Project, this-and the safest to watch. Just two steel balls, going off into time. Why was press Correspondent Culpepper so nervous?”

Synthetic Hero: “George Carlin had ruthlessly trampled his way to industrial power. Naturally, to win undying gratitude, he had to buy a one-way ticket to the moon.”

Valkyrie From the Void: “Staggering under the blasting heat of a great ringed sun, she fought only to cross her savage slimy world. the lithe Priestess Yida knew not that her goal lay, bright and shining, a thousand light-years away.”
