Amazing Stories March 1962 — Rocket Launch Among Ancient Alien Ruins
A sleek red-and-white rocket stands poised for launch within the shadow of a crumbling alien archway, its fins planted in desert soil beside the toppled golden head of a colossal alien statue. Tiny human figures scramble across the rust-colored terrain — some dwarfed by the rocket, others inspecting the ancient fallen idol. Strange inscriptions cover the weathered stone gateway, hinting at a civilization long dead. This is first contact with a dead world's legacy, and the countdown has already begun.
Oh man, a rocket launching through an alien ruin with a toppled giant golden head at its feet — this thing is dripping with Lost Civilization energy! Marion Z. Bradley AND Bob Silverberg in the same issue? Whoever priced this at 35 cents was practically giving it away.
