Many of the pulp magazines from the 20s & 30s have faded from the public domain. Which is very sad because while I had many on my appendix N for this blog entry their no longer available. Amazing stories Volume 01 Number 03 June 1926 is one of those magazines still within the bounds of public domain. It contains one of the most, if not the most influential Lost World novel Journey To The Center Of The Earth.
This version of the story is notable for the striking cover & the very cool interior illustrations showing some amazing scenes. You can see this amazing issue right over Here
