The Best Of The Worst
Heritage Auctions claims this is the back cover of Amazing Stories, October 1945. Even though there was no October 1945 issue of Amazing Stories. So, yeah. Still awesome.
The cover illustration is the editor's conception of a symbol for "Scientifiction." A contest for a better symbol was announed on p.5 .
This illustration was published in the August 1942 issue of Famous Fantastic Mysteries.
