Norman Saunders - cover of Marvel Science Stories for April-May 1939

description

Summary

Cover of the April-May 1939 issue of Marvel Science Stories. Art is by Norman Saunders. From the Table of Contents: "This Month's Cover: Norman Saunders, inimitable science-fiction cover artist, gives his conception of a beauty parlor of the future— A Mechanical Fountain of Touth." There's also a column by Eando Binder discussing it, entitled "A Mechanical Fountain of Youth". A short sample: "Let us assume it is some future year, and whatever age you are now, you are in need of rejuvenation by then. You enter the Youth Emporium, pay the fee (in accordance with your pocketbook, perhaps) and the Operator questions you. How long do you want to feel—about twenty-one? How handsome do you want to look—like the current matinee idol? And the best of health, of course?"

Colours have been adjusted against the original (this is far more accurate than the original scan), the long crease/tears removed, and general cleanup. The "TOM" of Tomorrow at the top had to be partially reconstructed due to particular damage to that section. Some stamps of a foolish bookseller were removed.

한국어: 놀랍고 신기한 과학 이야기(Marvel Science Stories ) 1939년 4-5월호의 표지. 당대의 유명 SF 예술가였던 노먼 손더스가 '미래의 미용실'을 그림으로 표현하였다. 엔도 바인더(Eando Binder)가 이를 묘사하는 컬럼을 썼는데, 그는 전기로 몸의 세포를 충전하고 뇌하수체를 변경하는 등의 상세한 설명을 하였다. 이는 현대 과학과 정확히 들어맞지는 않는데, 그가 말미에 지적했듯이 당시는 생물학이 그다지 잘 발달하지 못했다.

A collection of war-time magazines intended for fighting countries' readers. Signal was a modern, glossy, illustrated photo journal and army propaganda tool, meant specifically for audiences in neutral, allied, and occupied countries. A German edition was distributed in Switzerland and to various other countries with a strong German military presence, but Signal was never distributed in Germany proper. The promoter of the magazine was the chief of the Wehrmacht propaganda office, Colonel Hasso von Wedel. Signal was published fortnightly (plus some special issues) in as many as 25 editions and 30 languages, and at its height had a circulation of 2,500,000 copies. It was available in the United States in English until December 1941. The last number was 6/45, only known in one sample from the Swedish edition. Yank magazine's first issue was published on June 17, 1942. The magazine was written by enlisted rank (EM) soldiers with a few officers as managers and initially was made available only to the US Army overseas. By the fifth issue of July 15, 1942, it was made available to serving members within the US, however, it was never made available on the newsstands for public purchase. YANK's circulation exceeded 2.5 million in 41 countries with 21 editions. The last issue was published on December 28, 1945.
