Abstract

Salive was relentless in his efforts to acquire any pre-1949 issues of Astounding Stories of Super-Science, first published in January 1930 under the editorship of Harry Bates. This periodical remains the most influential, and longest running continuously published magazine in the history of SF fact and fiction. This issue of March 1930 is Salive’s earliest copy. It contains the classic Wesso cover and ‘Brigands of the Moon’ by Ray Cummings (1887-1957). Cummings, at one stage assistant to Thomas Edison, was one of the founding fathers of SF pulp genre and produced some 750 novels and short stories in his career.
