This highly collectible mid-century pulp captures the shift into 1950s sci-fi styling with a masterfully dramatic and moody "shadow claw" cover painted by Raymond Naylor. This milestone issue is highly desired by collectors for featuring the first printing of the complete science fiction thriller novella "The Usurpers" by Geoff St. Reynard.
The issue presents with a vivid, colourful front cover that retains strong image appeal despite wear, creasing, and edge/corner damage. The back cover shows toning, and surface wear across the entire face. The spine is worn with colour loss, and fraying.
