This November 1930 issue of Astounding Stories of Super-Science contains six science fiction stories. "The Wall of Death" by Victor Rousseau depicts a viscous, half-human entity from Antarctica that consumes all life. "The Pirate Planet" by Charles W. Diffin, beginning a four-part novel, features a mysterious celestial visitor threatening Earth with interplanetary conflict. "The Destroyer" by William Merriam Rouse follows Allen Parker as he loses control of his body and mind. L. A. Eshbach's "The Gray Plague" centers on a maimed captive in an interplanetary meteor-craft who may save plague-stricken Earth. Ray Cummings concludes "Jetta of the Lowlands," involving invisible aircraft and ransom. Harl Vincent's complete novelette "Vagabonds of Space" concerns space travelers Carr and a Martian encountering warnings from the Sargasso Sea of Space. The issue includes a readers' correspondence section.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
