The October 1940 issue of SPICY MYSTERY STORIES finds the science fiction theme in full swing, as no less than three stories are sf: "Air Maiden", the cover story by Clive Trent, "Marooned on Eros" by Hugh Speer and "Dawn of Discord" by E. Hoffmann Price.  Trent and Speer, of course, were both pseudonyms of Victor Rousseau, who probably holds the distinction for having written the most sf for the spicy pulps.
