EDITORS COMMENTS
This cover design for the November 1949 issue of Super Science Stories, a science fiction pulp magazine, showcases an intriguing and suspenseful scene. The image, created by talented artist Terry Parker, features a beautiful woman in a white lab coat, gazing intently into a large, bubbling test tube. Surrounding her are numerous other test tubes, some with ominous-looking bubbles, while in the background, a dark and ominous gateway looms ominously. The title of the magazine, "Super Science Stories," is prominently displayed at the top, with the tagline "Fiction of the Future" below. The cover art for this issue of Super Science Stories, published in 1949 during the 1940s, perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the science fiction genre during that era. The use of bold colors, dramatic shadows, and futuristic elements all contribute to the sense of wonder and excitement that was so prevalent in the pulp magazines of the time. Two renowned science fiction authors, Murray Leinster and Fredric Brown, graced the pages of this issue with their stories. Leinster's tale, "The Big Jump," explores the concept of time travel, while Brown's contribution, "Trapped in Space," delves into the challenges of surviving in outer space. The cover art, with its striking image of a woman on the brink of discovery, perfectly sets the stage for these thrilling stories of science and adventure. The cover design for the November 1949 issue of Super Science Stories is a testament to the enduring appeal of science fiction and the power of pulp art to capture the imagination of readers. Whether you're a fan of classic science fiction or simply appreciate the artistry of pulp covers, this image is sure to leave you intrigued and eager to explore the stories within.
