"Imagination: Stories of Science Fiction and Fantasy", Vol 2 No 2 (April 1951) (ed William L Hamling) (magazine, free): Annotated table of contents

Cover by Malcolm Smith of Imagination Stories of Science Fiction and Fantasy magazine, April 1951 issue. It illustrates the story Beyond the Fearful Forest by Robert W Krepps.
Scans of this magazine in CBR format are online as part of a larger package.

Bradbury's excellent story is probably logically a part of "The Martian Chronicles", though it doesn't appear to be in the official version.

Table of contents.
