Developed in the 1890s and lasting into the 1950s, the "pulp" magazine format was a low-cost means of delivering fiction short stories to the masses. In many ways, the pulp magazine was a predecessor to the comic book of today and several famous comic book heroes got their start in pulp magazines.
Wonder Stories was one such magazine, in print from 1930 to 1936, when it was sold and renamed Thrilling Wonder Stories.
This January 1931 issue includes the following stories:
The Satellite of Doom by D. D. Sharp
The Flaming Cloud by Edsel Newton
Death from the Seas by Joseph Kennelly
The Gland Men of the Island by Malcolm Afford
The Souless Entity by Anthony Pelcher
The Outpost on the Moon by Joslyn Maxwell
Also includes regular columns of Science questions from readers and a Science Knowledge quiz based on the included stories.
Due to difficulties in the restoration process, the section for reader's letters was omitted.
