 serialised in new worlds #102, #103, #104, #105°; 2, 3, 4, 5/1961, q.v.
part 1 is the cover story, art by sydney jordan (signed, also credited)
part 2 is the cover story, art by brian lewis (signed, credited to lewis)
part 3 is the cover story, art by brian lewis (signed, credited to lewis)
part 4 is the cover story, art by sydney jordan (signed, also credited)
i.e. four different paintings (and not one each by two artists, used twice).

(° - the volume numbering of new worlds is irrelevant to its indexing, as the issue numbering is continuous, taking no notice whatsoever of the volume numbering.
the same is true of its sister magazine, science fantasy.°°)
(°° - ''publishers!'')
