It seems to be derived from one used by Wikipedia.org (at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Cummings#/media/File:Ray_Cummings_WSQ_1931_Win.jpg) where it is captioned "Ray Cummings c. 1931" and the following information is provided: "unidentified staff artist / Stellar Publishing - Wonder Stories Quarterly, Winter 1931". (Jon D. Swartz acknowledges Wikipedia as one of his Internet sources for his article about Ray Cummings.) The illustration appears alongside a photograph of Cummings taken from his obituary (1957). One of the reviews by Pat Patterson covers a finalist in the 2018 Dragon Awards. In addition to the listed books, the reviews section reviews the first (and only) three issues of Superworld Comics (April-August 1940), the non-fiction book The Silver Age Sci-Fi Companion by Mike W. Barr, and the anime titles ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Department (episode 2), Gabriel DropOut (episode 2), Mary and the Witch's Flower, Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid (episode 2), and Saga of Tanya the Evil (episodes 2 and 3).
