PULP MAGAZINES
American Science Fiction
was born with the first issue of Hugo Gernsback's AMAZING STORIES in
1926. Science fiction had appeared in other magazines for a number of
years prior to that, but AMAZING was the first magazine devoted
exclusively to science fiction.
It was a big success, and
was followed shortly thereafter by WONDER STORIES, also by Gernsback, and
by ASTOUNDING STORIES. Many people date the real beginnings of Science
Fiction to the late 1930's when John Campbell took over editorship of
ASTOUNDING. This publication was to become the most influential
publication in the industry, perhaps because Campbell insisted on some
scientific basis for his stories, even if the science had not yet been
invented. He also nurtured a number of the classical writers in the
genre, including Asimov, Heinlein, Van Vogt, and L Ron
Hubbard.
Just prior to the war, a
number of other magazines entered the field, but the paper shortage
caused by the war wiped most of them out. Perhaps the greatest loss was
UNKNOWN, thought by some to be the best fantasy magazine ever
published.
Science Fiction magazines
boomed again in the early 1950's, but faded out with the widespread
introduction of television. Today, only a handful survive. ASTOUNDING was
renamed ANALOG in 1960 and is still published. AMAZING has been revived
several times, along with WEIRD TALES, but their continued publication is
in doubt.
