Notes:
- This is a facsimile reprint of the original pulp magazine.
- Date of publication from Amazon.com.
- The uncredited illustration that is the header for The Vizigraph is the same in every issue, and first appeared in the Spring 1940 issue, this magazine's second issue.
- Editor Paul L. Payne calls himself Planet's Little Parasite this time around.
- All artwork is uncredited and credit is assigned by signatures.
- A comparison of signitures on the site http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=465371&GSub=29417 shows that illustrator A. McWilliams is comic artist Al McWilliams.
- It is unclear as to what "Per-Aspera-Ad-Astra" is. It is a one page ad (?) for the Technical Development Committee on Upper Atmosphere and Interplanetary Navigation committee. It is not connected to the story "Peril Orbit" that it is printed in the middle of. It is credited to TDCUAIN on the contents page but not on its story page.
- David Hitchcock Green's letter is actually a mini-article on science fiction.
- Elizabeth Curtis may be author Betsy Curtis.
