Startling stories is one of my all-time favourite pulp magazines, though; May 30, 2012 at 8:58 PM

I'm lucky enough to have about 20 issues of Startling; including both these issues. Just some wonderfully fun pulp reading & art! The 51 issue has the last Captain Future story; while the 49 features a rare Science Fiction story by John D. MacDonald.; May 30, 2012 at 10:37 PM

I've had many issues of Startling pass through my hands over the years. As you say, great fun.; May 30, 2012 at 11:22 PM
