Astronaut Under Laser Fire — Amazing Science Fiction, March 1958

A panicked astronaut fills the frame, his silver helmet dominating the foreground as twin laser beams slice across his visor — one grazing his cheek in a flash of blood-red. Behind him, the star-scattered void of space stretches endlessly, while a sleek rocketship maneuvers in the upper background. The expression of raw fear behind the scratched faceplate is immediate and visceral, pulling the reader into a life-or-death moment somewhere beyond Earth's orbit.
