This final issue under editor H.J. Campbell's tenure features a mix of science articles and fiction. The lead story "The Creep" by Robert Presslie begins on page 122. Short fiction includes E.C. Tubb's "Mistake on Mars," Katherine Marcuse's "Children Should Be Seen," Barrington Bayley's "The Reluctant Death," and stories by Len Shaw, Helen M. Urban, Sydney J. Bounds, A.G. Williamson, John Kippax, and Graham Winslow. Non-fiction covers permanent magnets, free will, planetary pathways, plant breeding, the Bell X-2 aircraft, space academy, lightning stroke counters, and scientific photography. Campbell's editorial announces his departure to pursue full-time scientific research, passing editorship to Tubb. The magazine also includes book reviews and projectile information.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
