Luchadores del Espacio (con Space Bimbos)

Sci-Fi pulp novels Sinister Void and Captives of Space by Joe Bennett (José Luis Benet Sanchís) with cover art by José Luis (José Luis Macías) circa 1958. Via Google Translate:

“Do you think it’s possible to remedy the chaotic situation in which the ‘vagaspaces’ of the uranium spaceship live?
Alone in the infinite Universe, surrounded by dangers and condemned to ‘brain death’, the anguish acquires a high degree of tension on each page. Science and futuristic fantasy. Situations that you will not be able to endure without being upset because SINISTER VOID is the title that all true lovers of fantasy literature were anxiously awaiting.”

La Historia del Juego de Golf

 

GOLF

The origin of this sport is from India where it was played with hollow balls that were thrown by some players at others by means of wooden clubs. This game was adopted in England, which introduced many modifications, and has been played since the end of the 19th century in almost the entire world.The French claim that it originates from a similar game that was played in France in the fourteenth century, with the Italians, Dutch and us Spaniards also claiming its paternity.

Triple Shot of My Baby’s Love

A revolver made in Spain probably as a single piece because none of my friends and I remember ever seeing one, nor did I find something in the literature. To adapt the 6.35 pistol cartridge the cylinder has two connected rings in which one can insert the cartridges and closing the second ring, the cartridges are safely stored – similar today’s speed-loader. On the back of the strap is a switch, center position will hit the inner circle, left position six hits skipping one in the outer circle and after pushing to the right the firing pin will hit the remaining six cartridges. Under the switch is additional a safety blocking the hammer. It is a tip-down or break-open system similar the Smith & Wesson models. The 3″ barrel has a fixed front sight.

Eighteen 6.35mm cartridges, 3 synchronized firing pins, 3 barrels, 6 x 3 shots. I think that’ll do. [Found here. More accurate story here.]
