Thrilling Wonder Stories Aug 1950 — Armed Woman in Lab, Jack Vance Issue

Cover art for Thrilling Wonder Stories, Vol. 36 No. 3 (August 1950), featuring a glamorous, barely-clad woman in a gold-accented red costume brandishing a ray gun in a futuristic laboratory setting. Behind her, a figure lies prone on a table while a white-coated man bends over another patient. Glowing spherical apparatus and coiled tubing fill the background. The issue features notable fiction by Henry Kuttner, Wallace West, and Jack Vance, whose story 'New Bodies For Old' aligns perfectly with the transplant-lab imagery.

A brass-bikini-clad woman waving a ray gun over unconscious bodies in a glowing mad-science lab lands firmly near the exploding space station end of the dial. Bergey's signature cheesecake-and-chrome formula is firing on all cylinders here.
