Up for sale is a rare piece of science fiction history: the September 1940 issue of Fantastic Novels magazine. This highly collectible second issue features the complete novel People of the Golden Atom by legendary Golden Age sci-fi author Ray Cummings, serving as a landmark sequel to his famous sub-atomic fiction works.

This September 1940 issue of Fantastic Novels presents with vivid, bright front cover colours but is significantly undermined by heavy spine wear and a notably more distressed back cover. The spine shows severe tanning, edge fraying, and corner damage that pushes this copy into the Good range, while the front cover retains surprising colour vibrancy despite edge and corner wear.
