Super-Science Fiction June 1958 – Woman Attacked by Alien, Ray Gun

Interplanetary combat and alien menace dominate this lurid cover, where a blonde woman in a form-fitting blue jumpsuit clutches a sleek ray gun while a green alien claw seizes her from behind. Rocket ships streak skyward against a vivid pink alien sky, grounding the scene in classic 1950s space-travel iconography. The composition combines damsel-in-distress pulp tropes with genuine atomic-age tension, illustrating stories by Robert Silverberg and Henry Slesar.
