These issues feature early entries by foundational voices such as Isaac Asimov A.E. van Vogt and Fritz Leiber Jr. and include work under the pseudonym "Lewis Padgett" the collaborative pen name of Henry Kuttner and C.L. Moore-Moore being one of the earliest and most significant women in American science fiction.<br /> <br /> 1 Astounding Science Fiction Vol. XXXIV No. 5. January 1945.
