It's marked British edition and is numbered Vol. IX, No 8 August 1954
It contains a novelette - Canyon of the Damned by Gliff Chesire and four short stories. The amusing thing about reading these old books is the cheesy advertisements. Check out the amusing Charles Atlas AD promising a whole new body in only ten days. If only it was that easy - I could do with a new left elbow.
The Chad advert also is amusing and reads like the sort of thing we find these days in
our Spam inbox - which is fitting really given that in the new century the internet is the home of innovative pulp fiction. I strongly believe that the next batch of superstar writers are going to come from one of the numerous E-zines that abound.

I suppose it is and I'll take it down should anyone connected with the (C) request such. I've not used the ad for any financial gain but rather to offer a digital record these old magazines. I wouldn't think that would be a problem.
Oh and another point - the post actually links to the current Charles Atlas site. So they're getting free advertising. Please Mr Atlas please send cash to this nine stone weakling in thanks.
