The Cover: A sort of 1970s take on the classic bug-eyed monster (BEM) and damsel in distress (DiD) cover popular in the golden era of Sci Fi. Here a moth monsters a leggy blonde, startled by the looming and somewhat satanic shadow of the alien, she immediately begins falling out of her dress. The caption says it all, “…beautiful women wanted as slaves on another planet”. You know it’s a serious exploration of the subject because it doesn’t have an exclamation mark.
