✦ Synopsis

This is the fifth issue of the classic science fiction pulp magazine Astounding Stories of Super-Science, published in May 1930 and edited by Harry Bates. The first four issues are also available on this site. The publication, having undergone several name changes during its long history, is now called Analog Science Fiction and Fact and is the longest running continuously published magazine of the genre. Because Astounding paid more per word than its competitors, it attracted some of the better-known pulp writers such as Murray Leinster, Victor Rousseau and Ray Cummings.
