Vol 4, No 6. Cover painting over photograph and illustrates "Voyage to Eternity." Table of contents lists interior illustrations by Paul Calle, H. W. McCauley, and W. E. Terry, and cartoons by Ludway, Hall, Vogel, and Shaffer. "Willy" signed one piece but there is no corresponding name in the table of contents. Astronomical object on the back cover is the Sombrero Galaxy, misidentified as a spiral "nebula." Cartoons by Vogel on p.107, and p.136, signed "Vogel, uge" and "Vogel, uq" respectively. There are two cartoons in the June 1951 issue of Imagination credited to "Wally". It is possible that the artist is the same artist credited as "Willy" in this issue although the signatures are very different and the "Willy" signature in this issue is clearly legible.
