The Argosy: Part 6 - Post 1979 and various related Issues

Later Revivals of the magazine

Argosy was briefly revived in 1989 when it ran for six issues in an increasingly irregular schedule, and an odd volume numbering whose origin remains unclear.

1989

1991

It was revived again in 2004 as an extremely "slick" magazine. It started as a bimonthly but only managed two issues on that schedule before going on hiatus for the remainder of 2004 before being relaunched as Argosy Quarterly in 2005, which only lasted for a single issue.

It was revived again in 2016 as a quarterly mixing reprints from the original pulp and new stories.

In addition to the two UFO issues listed above, there was also a short-lived companion magazine called Argosy UFO which seems to have lasted for eight issues in 1976/1977 on an almost bi-monthly schedule:

1976            
v1 #1
Jul
 
v1 #2
Sep
 
v1 #3
Nov
 
1977
v2 #1
Jan
 
v2 #2
Mar
 
v2 #3
May
 
v2 #4

Winter 1977/78

There was also another short-lived companion magazine called Argosy Gun but only four issues have been located to date:

1977    
Fall

Winter 1977/8
1978
Spring

Summer
   

The Best of Argosy Annual

There were also two issues in 1976 of a retrospective anthology in magazine format called The Best of Argosy Annual. Although this was issued to celebrate Argosy's one hundredth anniversary, approximately one third of the contents are SF or fantasy, most of which are reprinted from related magazines rather than from Argosy itself.

Canadian reprint edition

In the 1920s and 1930s the Canadian issues were direct reprints of the US issues, dated a week later for much of the run.

In the 1940s the Canadian issues reprinted selected stories from various contemporary US issues.

In the 1950s and 1960s the Canadian issues were again direct reprints of the US issues.

Many issues extrapolated; other issues probably exist.
