This is the issue you readers are going to put down in your memory as "a milestone" in our history—because in this one you're getting something you've asked for. It's a complete, book-length novel written by one of your favorite of favorites, Eando Binder. Ever since "Darkness and Dawn" was published years ago, you've asked for another epic of the future struggles of maokind. Well, here it is. One hundred twelve pages of smashing novd; "After an Age" by science fiction's oldest (in experience) ace of novel writers.

The cover illustrating the novel is by your newest favorite, Robert Gibson Jones. We're sure you're going to like it, as well as the excellent job Russell Milburn did on the interior illustrations. This one will give you a chance to compare this new Jones girl with the Mac girl who appears in our companion magazine this month, Fantastic Adventures, also illustrating a complete novel (When Freemen Shall Stand, by Nelson S. Bond).

Robert Bloch, who does those fascinating Lefty Feep stories for Fantastic Adventures, comes to Amazing with a story of murder on the moon which will make the shivers crawl up and down your spine. Bloch can certainly handle this kind!

Raymond Z. Gallun, who is still tramping the world, gives us another short called "The Eternal Wall" which takes us millions of years into the future in a "sleeper wakes" type of story with quite a different twist to it. You'll like the "future people" of this story—although we warn you, they aren't exactly what you'd expect the successors of man to be.

Emil Petaja, whose first story in our magazine was very well received indeed, comes back this month on the strength of that reception. He does one called "Dinosaur Goes Hollywood." The illustration, by Brady, is an exceptionally good one, and unlike most of our illustrations, is done exactly the same sue as reproduced. Other illustrations (except Magarian's which are done only three-quarters actual size) are usually half larger or twice size. Maybe those points are something you didn't know about illustrations, eh? Oh yes, Virgil Finlay also works his drawings same size.

We know you'll welcome another return of A. R. McKenzie's Juggernaut Jones. The irrepressible salesman goes in for "hauling" in a big way in this new one, and as he usually does, moves a lot more things around than freight!

H. B. Carleton presents something of an innovation in this issue, a story called "Hard Guy" with an O. Henry twist at the end. We'd
