EDITORS COMMENTS
This cover image from Amazing Stories, a pioneering science fiction magazine published in 1928, showcases a thrilling scene from J. Schassel's "To the Moon by Proxy." In this intriguing tale of science and fantasy, a robot undergoes rigorous testing for an upcoming space mission. The scene depicted on the cover presents an unusual yet effective method of evaluation: pitting the robot against a fierce lion. The backdrop of the cover is dominated by the ethereal image of the moon, symbolizing the ultimate goal of human space exploration. The robot, a marvel of engineering, stands tall and resolute, its metallic frame gleaming under the light. Its creators, with determined expressions, observe the scene from a distance, their faces etched with anticipation and anxiety. The lion, a symbol of raw power and primal instinct, lunges at the robot, its teeth bared in a snarl. The robot, in response, deploys a shield, deflecting the lion's attack with precision and agility. The contrast between the mechanical and the natural worlds is stark, yet the scene is a testament to the potential of technology to surmount even the most formidable challenges. This cover image, a masterpiece of pulp art, encapsulates the spirit of scientific discovery and the limitless possibilities of the human imagination. It serves as a reminder that even in the face of the unknown, we continue to push the boundaries of science and technology, fueled by our insatiable curiosity and our unyielding determination to explore the vast expanse of the universe.
