Planet Stories Vol. 1, No. 10 (Spring 1942). Cover by Alexander Leydenfrost

“Planet Stories” was launched at the same time as “Planet Comics” and ran for 71 issues between 1939 and 1955. It didn’t pay enough to attract the best authors to its pages on a regular basis but it did manage to attract well-known names on occasion, including Ray Bradbury, Leigh Brackett, Isaac Asimov, Clifford Simak and Philip K. Dick. The artwork emphasized attractive women, with scantily clad damsels in distress or alien princesses on almost every cover.

The cover painting on this Spring 1942 issue of Planet Stories was reproduced on the Spring 1953 issue of "Tops in Science Fiction."
