The cover was painted by Chesley Bonestell, widely regarded as the father of modern space art and the single most influential astronomical illustrator of the 20th century. Inside, the issue features the novelet "No Man Pursueth" by Ward Moore, author of the acclaimed alternate-history classic Bring the Jubilee, alongside contributions from Robert Bloch (best known for Psycho), Tom Godwin, and J. Francis McComas (co-founder of the magazine itself).

Front cover presents a vibrant Chesley Bonestell cover with colours that remain bright and well-saturated, showing small corner wear and some edge stress. Back cover shows tanning along its edges. The spine displays moderate wear with some colour loss.
