Planet Stories Sept 1952 – 'The Star Plunderer' Poul Anderson Cover
On a jagged alien world bathed in orange and ochre, a dark-haired space warrior in a low-cut yellow tunic and green cloak fires her ray-gun point-blank into a snarling, frog-faced alien creature. Her pose is explosive — legs kicking, necklace catching the light — while background figures clash in a rocky canyon. This is interplanetary adventure at full throttle: slavers, mutiny, and empire born in chaos across the stars.
A sizzling space vixen blasts a bug-eyed alien at point-blank range while empires crumble in the background — Planet Stories delivers the galaxy's hottest trouble and the dame who owns it!
