Pulp Parade #264: Encouraging delving in the deep

Pulp Parade #263: Peace, prosperity, skimpy costumes...I welcome the Empire!

This is Amazing Stories for September 1945, cover by Robert Gibson Jones. (Note that by 1945 Amazing Stories was only publishing quarterly, possibly due to wartime shortages.)

You can download and read the whole issue — including an article on the Cable Train of tomorrow! — at the Internet Archive.
