Future Combined with Science Fiction Stories
The post-war revival of Columbia’s two main SF titles has a tangled history. They were revived as a combined title, starting the numbering over at volume 1 #1. Science Fiction Stories was separated from Future and published two issues to test the market for a conversion to digest size. The results were apparently encouraging and shortly afterwards Future changed to digest size.

After three issues the publisher apparently decided that Science Fiction Stories was the stronger title; Future was discontinued with the October 1954 issue and replaced with Science Fiction Stories. However, Future’s numbering was continued in the new series of Science Fiction Stories.

Ordinarily this would be considered a simple title change but, to further confuse things, about a year after the title change the publisher revived Future again as a separate title, with a parallel numbering that was also derived from the October 1954 issue of Future. To emphasize this fissioning of one title into two, we have separated the post-1954 issues of Future into a separate listing; see the entry for Future Science Fiction. (Pub. Info.)

[]"Second Issue" 1954 (35¢, 132pp, digest) (Contents)

Science Fiction Stories
The numbering derives from Future Science Fiction, one of two titles so derived. With the September 1955 issue the publisher placed the phrase “The Original” above the title logo. This was only an advertising phrase and not an actual title change, though it is often referred to by SF fans as The Original Science Fiction Stories. After publication ceased, the title was bought and used on a fanzine, which was titled The Original Science Fiction Stories. See separate entry under that title. (Pub. Info.)

Future Science Fiction
One of two magazines derived from Future Science Fiction (see entry for Future Combined with Science Fiction Stories for a detailed explanation). This title was issued with whole numbers only, beginning with #28. There had been 27 prior issues of Future since its post-war revival, but the previous issues had never been issued with whole numbers, and the numbering that it did use was still being continued under the title Science Fiction Stories.
