Amazing Facts from Nature

This pulp magazine contains two distinct works. The first is an illustrated feature comparing human athletic achievements against animals, noting the peregrine falcon's speed of 1100 miles per hour against the supersonic plane's 600 mph. The second is a science fiction comic narrative about a big-game hunting expedition to Venus. A wealthy man hires renowned guide Wagner Dunbery and his niece Magda to hunt exotic creatures, creating tension among the party. During the expedition, protagonist Graves encounters a monstrous, tentacled triangular figure and is pulled into a fourth-dimensional "color-stream" representing the stream of time itself. There he meets a beautiful woman who draws him into temporal displacement. When Graves mysteriously reappears eight years later, half his face has aged dramatically, and he remains psychologically bound to the woman existing somewhere in time, awaiting his return.
