Thrilling Wonder Stories, Fall, 1946

The cover is quite sexy; a woman is being eaten by a huge plant and it looks very much like she's in the middle of an orgasm, althuogh that could be debated.

The first thing is a column on reader views.

The Multillionth Chance: “Physicist Grant Mayson re-creates Iana, the wonder girl of long ago, out of scattered atoms-but between them stands the memory of Anrax, long-dead master of science!”

The good Egg: “Square Root, the little imp from outer space, gets the number of some racketeers, and does some fast figuring!”

Call Him Demon: “Deep in his fourth dimensional lair crouches the hungry monster-while only a band of children guards helpless adult victims from his grim and insatiable executions!” A full-page illustration shows another woman being devoured by a plant.”

Never the Twain Shall Meet: “Out in space John Farrel keeps his tryst with Ylleen, gorgeous Martian girl whose love means-sudden death!”

Pocket Universes: “When Latin-American tyrant Jose Guttierez visits New York, political fugitive Luis Santos perfects a machine that can eliminate space-and exacts fearsome, fantastic vengeance!”

The Little Things: Dave Tenning, a born rebel, felt that he did not really belong in this Futureworld which was tired of rebellion!”

Tubby-Master of the Atom: “Off goes Tubby in the Time-Space-Matter-Mobile on a jaunt to a distant era where an atomic beauty gives him the eye!”
