Planet Stories July 1952 — Blonde Spacewoman Battles Yellow Alien Monster

On some savage alien world, a platinum-blonde spacewoman in a blue spacesuit and gold arm-bands raises a red ray gun against a slavering yellow-skinned reptilian monster bearing down on her with bulging eyes and gnashing jaws. Her expression is wide-eyed but defiant, her open helmet revealing golden earrings — glamour intact even mid-combat. Behind her, a male astronaut watches helplessly as a ringed planet looms in the star-flecked void above.
