REBORN!
From out of the sacred, unseen tomb of El Mokanna, the Masked Prophet, comes the fanatical cry sweeping through the mysterious East – a cry filled with the sounds of untold horror. The Golden Prophet has returned to rule the world!
Once again the gaunt, ominous figure of the world’s most unscrupulous, evil genius casts its menacing shadow over the Orient – hypnotizing the masses, with his brilliant schemes of power. Dr. Fu Manchu – cleverer, more sinister, and … younger.
With astounding criminal cunning and craftsmanship Dr. Fu Manchu, master of trickery, seeks to recapture the guarded golden treasures, the priceless relics of the Masked Prophet and make his greatest bid for power – mastery of the Western World!
“They were experienced space explorers. They’d sweated in the jungles of Venus and tasted the dust of dead planets. But nothing prepared them for Altair 4.
“It was a paradise – sure. A topsy-turvy Garden of Eden – with green moonlight, golden grass . . . and the astonishing girl, Altaira.
“But there was horror behind the beauty. There was non-human intelligence at work – And then there was the sudden, shrieking, agonizing death . . .
“This was the forbidden planet – Altair 4. And this is the story of the Earthmen who risked everything to conquer its secrets.
“Based on the MGM Cinemascope and color production FORBIDDEN PLANET, starring Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis and Leslie Nielsen.”
“. . . the blastoff of the Redstone-Mercury rocket that carried Commander Alan B. Shepard, Jr. into space – and into history, as the first American to travel off our planet. “Man Into Space” is Commander Shepard’s story – and the story of our space program, from its beginnings to tomorrow’s headlines!”

SPACESHIPS IN ANCIENT EGYPT
"Ever since the marvels of construction embodied in the Great Pyramid were discovered, demonstrating that the civilization which built it knew a great deal of science, there has been a lot of conjecture about the possibility that the knowledge was not native to this planet, but came here with space travelers. See page 177 for details."
Yea, but why travel in spaceships when you can use a stargate?
“When Worlds Collide” is a 1951 sci fi disaster film produced by George Pal for Paramount Pictures. The film is based on the 1933 novel of the same name by Philip Wylie and Edwin Balmer.

Remember, this is 1918. And how many women hunted for gold in the Yukon with their husbands?
"Why, Margaret," he said, "they're dolls."
And you should have seen Kernel Cob's face as he turned to Sweetclover and said:
"I don't see any woman, do you?"
But Sweetclover only smiled.
"Do you see the one that isn't John?" she said.
"Of course," said Kernel Cob, "I'm not blind."
"Well," said Sweetclover, "she's a woman."
"But she's got a man's suit on," said Kernel Cob.
"Well, that doesn't make her a man." said Sweetclover.
"What'll women be doing next," said Kernel Cob.
“Kernel Cob and Little Miss Sweetclover” by George Mitchell, who had a delightful sense of humor unusual for the time. Illustrated by Tony Sarg. Published by P.F. Volland in 1918. Can be found at www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/14110
The Victor Talking Machine Company was an American record company and phonograph manufacturer headquartered in Camden, New Jersey. It was best known for using “His Master’s Voice” as a logo.

Un número dedicado a explorar la visión y propuestas de Marcel Duchamp.
No su vida, no su obra; tan sólo algunos de sus conceptos.
Realizado con aportes de artistas, pensadores y diseñadores de todo el mundo
combinados con la explícita intención de producir a su vez un objeto duchampiano.
-el medio como instrumento intelectual que transpasa su especificidad y se burla de ella
-la obra independientemente de su carácter representativo e interpretativo
-”arte”, en términos de convenciones, lo más “amorfo” posible
-”obras” en las que la obra no es una finalidad en sí misma sino una excusa
-interpretaciones o, mejor dicho, lecturas que pueden convivir a pesar de ser aparentemente excluyentes
-objetos “anestesiados estéticamente”, anulados en su probable complacencia de la mirada, “rectificados”,”asistidos” para otorgarles una nueva -a menudo, insólita- significación. Como en la elección de los “ready-mades”: “basada en la indiferencia visual y en la ausencia total del buen o mal gusto”
-obras “definitivamente inacabadas”
-rrose sélavy, su alter(-)ego
-ajedrez, máquinas ópticas, matemáticas, geometría, “artefactos”
-la “pintura mental”, “pintura de precisión”, el rechazo de cualquier elemento en el que la mirada se pueda recrear con fruición
-texto, - bloques, - fotografías, + mixed-media, + pintura, + ilustración.
-toda la revista está en castellano e inglés.

This issue plays around the conceptual universe of Marcel Duchamp. Not his life, nor his works, just some of his concepts.
- the medium, as an intellectual tool which goes beyond its specificity mocking it.
- the work, regardless of its representative and interpretative character.
- “art”, in terms of conventions, as “amorphous” as possible.
- “construction”, in which the work is not it’s purpose, but an excuse.
- interpretations, or rather readings which can coexist despite being seemingly exclusive.
- objects “aesthetically anesthetized,” lapsed in their likely sight complacency; “rectified”, “assisted”, to give them a new –often unusual- significance. As with the choice of “ready-mades”: “based on visual indifference and a total absence of good or bad taste”
- works “definitively unfinished”.
- rrose sélavy, his alter (-) ego.
- chess, optic machines, mathematics, geometry, “artifacts”.
- “mental painting,” “precision painting”, the rejection of any element in which sight can be delighted.
- aesthetics: - text, - blocks, - photographs, + mixed-media, + painting, + illustration.
- the whole magazine, in spanish and english.

Cherie and the Cowboy
Cherie was a chanteuse. She said, “I call m’self Cherie. Thass all the name ya need – like Hidegarde, I won a amateur contest down in Joplin, Missouri, and that got me a job in a night club in Kanz City. But working in a night club ain’t all roses . . .”
Bo Decker had his picture taken by Life magazine because ha was a champion professional rodeo rider. Bo had heard about women only he’d hardly ever seen one. Bo was a large, beautiful hunk of man – but green as new grass when it came to Cherie.
Bo and Cherie got together when they were stranded at a bus stop one night.
Their story is one of high humor – a mixture of brag, heartache, bluster, and the funniest tough love affair ever put on stage, screen or between the covers of a book. It is filled with comedy, compassion and tenderness –

“In the forty-odd years the Miller Brothers operated the 101 Ranch World’s Greatest Wild West Show it was their proud boast that more internationally famed stars had appeared under their banner than any other traveling amusement enterprise and their boast was always that three of the screen’s best-loved stars were at one time members of the western troupe. The beloved Will Rogers learned to spin his rope and forked his first bronc on the 110,000-acre ranch of the Miller Brothers just outside of Ponca City, Oklahoma. The spectacular and picturesque Tom Mix, idol of the youngsters of fifteen years ago, and still worshiped in comic strip and radio serial, got his start on the 101 Ranch. Buck Jones, popular star of Western pictures, was the most recent graduate from the ranks of the 101 Ranch. All three popular idols have passed on but if they were here today, Col. Zack Miller, close friend of all three, and the last of the famous brothers, feels sure that they would agree that the old show is still the greatest wild west show of all time. . .” [Text from the souvenir program]
Illustration on the back cover of the 1915 Panama Pacific International Exposition Program Booklet.
“One of the most attractive and beautiful features of the Exposition will be the electrical illumination. By an entirely new system of flood lighting a soft, restful, yet perfect light will pervade the courts at night, revealing in wonderful clearness the facades and walls of the palaces and the natural colors of the shrubbery and flowers. By peculiar and novel lighting devices the statuary and mural paintings will be made to appear with even heightened effect. Concealed batteries will project powerful yet softened rays of light that will cause tens of thousands of specially prepared glass ‘jewels,’ hung tremulously upon the towers, to flash and scintillate like great diamonds, emeralds and rubies. At a point on the bay shore will be erected apparatus that will weave in the night sky auroras of ever-changing color. Altogether the spectacle will be interesting and wonderful and never to be forgotten.” [Accompanying description]

The fictional account of a small-time criminal, Caesar Enrico “Rico” Bandello, who claws his way to the top ranks of organized crime. (Artwork by Paul Stahr, now rendered in black & white, is from the 1945 edition.)
As a night clerk in a seedy hotel, the writer W.R. Burnett found himself associating with prize fighters, hoodlums, hustlers and hobos. They inspired this crime novel whose 1931 film adaptation is considered the first of the classic American gangster movies and made Edward G. Robinson a major film star.

Publishers T. Grant Cooke and Walter A. Jordan developed an interest in producing a correspondence course in magic in the mid-1920s. A few months before his death, Harry Houdini was approached to author the course; Houdini declined but recommended Harlan Tarbell. Cook and Jordan hired Tarbell and Walter Baker, another Chicago-area magician, to work on the project, but Baker dropped out of the project in its early stages to concentrate on his performances. The publishers allotted Tarbell $50,000 for the course, which he finished in 1928, producing 60 correspondence lessons with at least 3,100 illustrations.
After selling 10,000 complete courses, Cooke and Jordan discontinued marketing the Tarbell Course in Magic in 1931, blaming the Great Depression for slumping sales. In 1941, however, magician Louis Tannen purchased the rights to the course, working with Tarbell and Ralph W. Read (of Read and Covert) to convert the correspondence lessons into book form.
D. Robbins and Co./ E-Z Magic purchased all rights from Tannens in 1962 and is the current publisher and distributor of the Tarbell Course in Magic. [Source: Wikipedia]
A gunner’s life in wartime was pretty much the same no matter what kind of ship he flew. Flying bombers off Corsica that summer of 1944, a man had one chance in four of completing his 75-mission tour. That’s the way the odds were stacked. One chance in four.
A new guy such as Banky Thompson had trouble adjusting to that –
“You’re scared as hell and even if you come through the first few, you might as well have a million ahead of you.
“In between you try to forget, and Rome has warm wine and fiery women to help you, but you can’t forget because there is always tomorrow . . .
“And when tomorrow comes, the flak is around you, and you catch the blast of a burst on the right wing.
“Maybe you’ll get out of this one. Maybe you’ll be lucky. But even if you are, there’s still another mission tomorrow . . .”
Author Martin Quigley had never flown a tour of duty such as the one in this book, but he succeeds in capturing the flavor and essence of a gunner’s life.
