Outer Space #22

This anthology issue contains at least two stories. "Visit to Venus" follows a spacecraft crew that passes through dense clouds to reach Venus, where they discover a bleak desert and encounter the native Torgu civilization; they later wager that Venus is devoid of life, but after hours pass, a giant alien fleet lands and the Torgu people use ice-making devices to encase themselves and other life forms, ultimately forcing the Earth crew to flee. A second story involves Martini and Danzo, two detectives or agents who encounter a woman named Carla and investigate a flying saucer hidden behind shrubbery, discovering it belongs to visitors from another world taking pictures of Earth people.
