If she’s a century ahead of her sex, I dread to think what she’ll do with the rocket.

A blurb so nice they used it twice.
Back cover. Sex in the 50’s was weird.

Bergey died in ’52 so this was in his last year of work. Bim, BEM, Bum needs to be a tag.

“Which makes her nearly fifty years ahead of a man, amirite guys?”
“Little help? Barely hanging on to the lip of the cliff here.”
“Hmm? Oh, sorry. I was totally distracted by the glowing phallic symbol.”
@fred: or at least sex as imagined by the SF fans of the time.
(Presumably when he takes her in his super-arms he’s standing with his super-feet, smiling with his super-lips, and finishing off that chili from last night with his super-colon).

I don’t know it for a fact…but I feel pretty certain sales of SF magazines and books took an abrupt dive when artist Earle Bergey passed away in 1952.

If she’s a century ahead of her sex, I agree with everyone that perhaps it’s no surprise she’s gazing at and flashing her cleavage at a phallic-shaped object?
Girlfriend has needs, and has apparently decided Mr. Clinging Hands ain’t gonna do it for her. Although that outfit is going to take a while to get off when she does have sex, unless those super-fingers are really dextrous (phwoar).
I don’t see any dragons, though.

@GSS ex-noob: the dragon is an absentee landlord. The island is managed for the dragon by a super Super.

Is her hair caught on something? She needs a pair strong hands to get her untangled.
