โฆ Synopsis
A group of space colonists is trapped inside an impossible giant planet, they all go mad from radiation, and grow to the size of giants.
The blurb reads: "What weird power enabled this planet not only to gain control of a space ship but to plunge the passengers into madness?"
Not a volcano nor a goddess in sight. Was the wrong story applied to the cover and title? No other volcanoes in this issue that I could see. And it's really a terrible story, though a cool cover.
