Magazine Issues

Amazing Stories

Amazing Stories was the first English-language magazine devoted entirely to science-fiction and, to date, has last through 609 issues in a number of incarnations and variant titles:

Apr-1926 - Feb-1958, as Amazing Stories
Mar-1958 - Apr-1958, as Amazing Science Fiction
May-1958 - Sep-1960, as Amazing Science Fiction Stories
Oct-1960 - Jul-1970, as Amazing Stories
Sep-1970 - Feb-1979, as Amazing Science Fiction Stories
May-1979 - Aug-1980, as Amazing Stories
Nov-1980 - Nov-1984, as Amazing Science Fiction Stories Combined with Fantastic
Jan-1985 - Mar-1985, as Amazing Science Fiction Stories Combined with Fantastic Stories
May-1985 - Jan-1986, as Amazing Science Fiction Stories
Mar-1986 - Summer 2000, as Amazing Stories
Sep-2004 - Mar-2005, as Amazing Stories

The magazine was so successful, that an annual was published in 1927, mainly containing reprinted stories, followed by a quarterly containing longer stories that ran from 1928 to 1934. There was also a one-off pamphlet containing a single story which was given to any readers who wrote in and asked for it.

Note that the magazine of this title in the 1940s simply contained rebound copies of unsold issues of Amazing Stories. There was also a one-shot in 1957 called Amazing Stories Science Fiction Novel.

In addition, an "ashcan" issue was published in 1950, presumably for trademark purposes. Ziff-Davis issued a large number of these in the late 40's but the purpose of this one is not certain. It is known that Howard Browne planned to convert Amazing Stories to a large-size, semi-slick format in 1950 but was thwarted by paper rationing when the Korean War started. This issue may have been printed to protect a modified version of Amazing's title and logo.

A British edition with variant contents was published between 1946 and 1955 in three separate series. There was also a Canadian edition in the 1930s but it is believed the contents were identical to the equivalent US issues.
