Interesting... The Onslaught from Venus (a scene from which is depicted on the Frank R. Paul-illustrated cover) appears in this issue, as credited to 'Frank Phillips' -- in actuality, a pseudonym for Philip Francis Nowlan, the creator/writer of Anthony 'Buck' Rogers. Since Buck Rogers became so successful so quickly after being adapted from AMAZING STORIES into a comic strip, Nowlan's entire prose science fiction output amounted to a mere 4 stories after the initial two Rogers novellas, Armageddon 2419 A.D. and The Airlords of Han. In addition to this issue's Onslaught from Venus, there were: The Time Jumpers in AMAZING v8n10 (Feb 1934); The Prince of Mars Returns in FANTASTIC Adventures v3n2 & 3 (Feb & Mar 1940); and Space Guards in ASTOUNDING SF v25n3 (May 1940). That last story was apparently published posthumously, as Nowlan died in February 1940 at the relatively young age of 51.
