October 1953 issue, I have no context whatsoever because the one copy I found for sale was asking $200. I'm intrigued but not THAT intrigued!

Not the best facial art for a believable disguise but that's what was acceptable in that time frame. Interesting find though.

Good news: I found an affordable copy of this issue.

Bad news: While I haven't read through the whole issue word for word, a fairly close look suggests there's no story in the issue to go with the cover.

Still an interesting cover; I'm not a writer but maybe somebody who is will step up some day.

So, ran into this one recently. The perspective on the cover is a bit odd, the pilot of the ship is a normal sized human male and figure being pulled behind the ship is also the size of a normal human... but it's actually a bodysuit, and the pilot winds up wearing it through most of the story. That was NOT my guess of where the story was going when I first saw the cover.

You can read the issue here, the relevant story starts on page 30:

To risk misquoting the iconic Elmer Fudd, 'vewwweee intuwesting'.

I just stumbled across this interior art from a "Men's Magazine" - it's said to be from the Nov. 1971 issue of "For Men Only" but looking it up on this site (which looks like a great resource for magazine covers), there's no mention on that issue's cover or on any of the nearby ones that fits this story:

What amuses me most is that not a single word on the splash page mentions the fact that the hero is wearing a dress and wig!

I found this site quite awhile ago and have used it often. It is a great site.

An amusing find indeed!

I find the philsp.com site annoying quite often, because the pages seem to change dynamically. So almost all the time I encounter a link to a specific page, it's outdated. But it covers a lot of books that just aren't referenced anywhere else online that I can find.

Could read this as a 'just woke up from the procedure' type of thing.

This one turned up at the Internet archive. Very much in the "a matter of interpretation" category; I'm sure it's unintentional but it's hard for those of us of a certain mindset to NOT read it as TG.
File is here if anybody's curious:
