A complete April 1930 issue of the magazine that would grow into the most important title in science-fiction history.

This is the April 1930 number of Astounding Stories of Super-Science, from the Clayton era under editor Harry Bates, the raw, exuberant early incarnation of the magazine (later Analog) that would one day define the field. A full issue of vintage pulp: ray-guns, rockets, and super-science by the working writers of the day. Read it for a genuine time capsule of where American science fiction lived in 1930.
