This issue (priced 2 shillings) contains stories, serials, and features edited by Peter Hamilton. The lead novel is Beacon Green by F. G. Rayer. Short fiction includes "Man of Imagination" by E. C. Tubb, about a fugitive murderer named Broman who escapes Earth authorities pursuing him across space for killing his wife; he flees to the independent planet Ganda, which offers no extradition. Also featured: "One Man" by D. M. Schneider, "The Men Marched Out" by John Ashcroft, and "Better Than We Know" by William F. Temple. A photo feature, "The Modern Mars" by Kenneth Johns, documents recent astronomical observations during Mars's 1956 closest approach in 32 years, describing yellow dust clouds obscuring the planet's surface. Regular columns include editor's remarks, science film previews by Forrest J. Ackerman, "Fanorama" by Walter A. Willis, and readers' letters.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
