Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic science fiction double novels. The first novel is “Treasure on Thunder Moon,” another fine tale by Edmond Hamilton. John North was through as a space pilot and he knew it. He’d been told that at age 37 he was too old to fly anymore. His strength and his reflexes just weren’t what they used to be. However, when a fluke opportunity raised its head, he and his aging space veteran friends found themselves hurtling into the void again. But it wasn’t aboard a luxury space liner or an interplanetary freighter—no. It was a treasure hunt to Oberon, one of the larger moons orbiting faraway Uranus. Oberon was known as “Thunder Moon,” and few men had ever landed on its surface and returned to tell about it. But a small cache of the most valuable substance in the Solar System lay hidden there. Unfortunately, Thunder Moon was the hell of the Solar System. And these men had to brave it in a condemned wreck. The second novel deals with terror from deep space in “Trail of the Astrogar,” by Henry Hasse. The freighter Astrogar had disappeared somewhere in the void, seemingly without a trace. Then she was found free-floating in deep space, terribly damaged, but not as damaged as the mind of the spaceman who was found inside her. He tried to tell of a dreadful, impending menace…one that could possibly destroy whole worlds! No one believed him except his daughter. She went to the dregs of the space planes to find the answers she sought and to prove her father was more than a raving madman. She soon found Curt Vaughn, and with him a giant Venusian. Together they set out to solve a deep space mystery—the solution to which might hold dire consequences for the entire Solar System…

from Bob Tucker’s classic fanzine Le Zombie (vol. 2, No. 4, Oct 28, 1939)

Dear Mr. Tucker,
Can there be anything new in scientifiction? We say yes–and offer CAPTAIN FUTURE. Fellows, CAPTAIN FUTURE is tops in scientifantasy! A brand new book-length magazine novel devoted exclusively to a star- studded quartet of the most glamorous characters in the Universe. And the most colorful planeteer in the Solar System to lead them–CAPTAIN FUTURE. You’ll find Captain Future the man of Tomorrow! His adventures will appear in each & every issue of the magazine that bears his name.
He ought to be good. We spent months planning the character, breathing the fire of life into him. For we feel that the man who controls the destinies of nine planets has to be good. But don’t take our word for it–get your first copy of CAPTAIN FUTURE the day it hits the newsstands and marvel at the wizard of science as he does his stuff on every thrilling page.
You’ll find Captain Future the most dynamic space-farer the cosmos has ever seen. A super-man who uses the forces of super-science so that you will believe in them. You’ll see Captain Future’s space craft, the Comet spurting thru the ether with such hurricane fury you’ll think Edmond Hamilton, the author, has hurled you on a comet’s tail.
And you’ll agree that Captain Future’s inhuman cavalcade– the Futuremen–supplement the world’s seven wonders. There’s Grag, the metal robot; Otho, the synthetic android; and Simon Wright, the living brain. A galaxy of the ultimate immortal forces!
So come on….give the most scintillating magazine ever to appear on the scientifiction horizon the once over. You’ll be telling us, as we tell you now, that CAPTAIN FUTURE represents fantasy at it’s unbeatable best.
CAPTAIN FUTURE will appear at all newsstands in a few weeks. Price, 15 cents. First issue features Edmond Hamilton’s novel, CAPTAIN FUTURE AND THE SPACE EMPEROR. Cover by Rosen. Illustrations by Wesso. Short stories by Eric Frank Russell and O. Sarri. Brand new departments– THE WORLDS OF TOMOROW, THE FUTUREMEN, UNDER OBSERVATION, and THE MARCH OF SCIENCE.
That’s all.                                                                      —-Leo Margulies
