This issue of Amazing Stories (Vol. 3, No. 1) features science fiction and fantastical narratives across multiple story lengths. The serial "Story of the Days to Come" by H.G. Wells begins its two-part run, presenting a mechanized future society with altered social structures and psychological dimensions. David H. Keller's "The Yeast Men" and Harley S. Aldinger's "The Way of a Dinosaur" offer speculative fiction treatments. Hugo Gernsback contributes "Baron Munchhausen's Scientific Adventures," continuing a Mars-focused narrative with radio communications and Martian scientific observation. Clare Winger Harris provides "The Miracle of the Lily," while Hal Grant's "The Ancient Horror" and Charles S. Wolfe's "The Master Key" suggest darker fantastic elements. Cecil B. White's "The Return of the Martians" closes the issue. The cover references an ongoing science-fiction contest offering $300 in prizes.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
