They look like circus performers, right? Those clothes are decorative rather than practical for space or any kind of military activity. And why are they freaking out about whatever's off to the right when their ship is being attacked right there?
A man and woman wearing clothes appropriate to circus performers are seen gesturing and reacting to something out of frame to the right. Behind them, through a hole in the metal of whatever vehicle they're inside, a space ship approaches, firing beams.
Magazine cover from 1950.
A woman in a figure-hugging space suit with cleavage is being hit from behind by a beam weapon fired from what looks like a flying space city a long way off in the distance. The woman is standing at a console and was apparently holding a microphone before the attack.
Science Fiction Quarterly magazine cover from 1952.
Black and white ad from Woman's Way magazine in 1970. It has a big photo captioned "Win a Man!" with six men smiling at the camera, looking relaxed. They're all white, different clothing styles, and different ages, maybe 20s to 50s. A smaller photo below shows a woman in 1970s fashionable dress serving a suited man a plate of cheese; his hands are raised in delight. Text reads: "No, this is not a competition. It's a gentle hint. Cheese makes a man feel great. So use a little cunning. Serve a man cheese. And win his heart." A slogan reads, "Cheese is manfood!" with a graphic of a cylindrical chunk of cheese with a slice removed.

Logically, this is the Titan story because that's Saturn in the sky? Love the alien and its crazy tentacle arms. Bit puzzled by the primitive spears being held by the space guys.
Two human figures in space suits, carrying spears, look up at a tall spindly alien creature more than twice their height. A space ship and pointed mountains are visible in the background and Saturn is seen in the sky.

There's no science fiction content here at all as far as I can see, except whatever object is in his hand. It looks like a seashell but also maybe it's a human heart? maybe that's just me. The word "INAPPROPRIATE" just sits there. Is something cut off?
A slim naked man is seen from behind, his face not visible but turned so that we can see one cheek over his shoulder. He is holding a purple object which looks like a seashell, or possibly a heart.
Astounding Stories magazine cover from 1954.
The design/layout/composition of this is outstanding, it's a really arresting image. However as usual, somehow it doesn't look like an action scene, it looks like they're posed and waiting for their photo to be taken.
A woman with dark hair has her hands around the throat of a woman with blonde hair, who is bent backward over a large sphere like a pearl five feet in diameter. Both women are wearing revealing, diaphanous clothing.
Weird Tales magazine cover from 1934.
It's not just a stylised image which looks like a roughly-textured wall: it actually IS a wall? You can see the shadow of the ship against it. Maybe that's the "Asimov surprise"?
A sharply pointed rocket ship flies toward a planet or moon, across a background which looks like a rough wall with concentric chalk circles around the moon.
Amazing Stories magazine cover from 1959.
A view of rocket ships taking off from a red/orange sandy surface, one of them in the middle distance, one in extreme close-up so that we see only one rocket and foot and part of the fuselage.
New Worlds magazine cover from 1956.
Helen's face is drawn by an artist and she looks at you with her hand caressing her chin. Her eyes are deep blue and her lips have red lipstick. Her hair is blond, short and wavy. Titles of article are on the cover like "Could you be a movie star" and " Will hay tells the inside story of his ten years in Hollywood.
Fascinating contrast. Intense dramatically-lit clutching-chair-arms guy and chilled-out headphones guy. No idea what story could include the two of them but the one on the right looks like me in my cinema seat at the end of "Avengers: Infinity War".
A man with manic expression, dramatically lit from below, gripping the arms of a seat, occupies most of the image, with an inset showing a contrasting man with a casual expression, cigarette drooping form his lips, adjusting some kind of controls and wearing headphones.
