Thanks for going to the trouble of producing these articles, Caleb. These old SF magazines are a wonder.
I’m also having trouble with images overlapping the text, so I’m hesitant to comment on things, for fear it’s addressed in text I can’t see. Love seeing the Virgil Finlay and Gray Morrow art. Both great artists, who may have been “slumming” doing work for this magazine. I can’t imagine the pay was great. I could be quite wrong about that though.
The art accompanying the Ley piece looks like pick-up art meant to accompany such articles concerning all things “science,” as stephanjones suggests.
And finally, the bad registration of the plates on the cover is common for that time period, unfortunately. With big web presses, it was easy for a plate or two two shift, and too expensive and time consuming to stop the presses and get everything lined up properly.
Please keep 'em coming!
