Rocket Summer first days, and deep dive on Thrilling Wonder Stories

"Rocket Summer" is a month long reading event in July where the aim is to read classic science fiction.
There are four weekly themes, here I look at what I've read in first five days of week one (SF until 1939)
Planetoid 127 - Edgar Wallace
Voices of the Radium Age - Joshua Glenn (ed)
Before the Golden Age - Isaac Asimov (ed)
The Skylark of Space - EE Doc Smith and Lee Hawkins Garby
And take a more in -depth look at the June 1937 issue of "Thrilling Wonder Stories"
The event is devised by @michaelk.vaughan8617 and co hosted by:

It’s such a great subject. I’m learning that I can’t participate in *every* event, but there was no way I was skipping this one 😀

Thanks Debs, Rocket Summer is a great chance to go through the old ones!

Brilliant, Gavin! You have such an incredible wealth of knowledge. I love these copies of the old pulps that you have. Such treasures.

Well, Joe Weider used to be able to sell Dinabol through the male. I used to have this 1970's muscle mag which was loaded up with weights for sale and Arnold pics and yes, steroids.
