Leigh Brackett, Edmond Hamilton and James Gunn – Pacificon II and MidAmeriCon I
From Gernsback’s editorial: “The editors of Amazing Stories… are trying their best to keep from this magazine stories that belong rather in the domain of fairy tales than in scientifiction”,
Amazing Stories’ first anniversary issue hits the stands.
A new regular Sunday feature debuts this week: FANAC’s Fan History Project videos. Fans have always been keen to embrace new technologies, including 8 and 16mm film!
Amazing Stories gives up its use of Amazing Stories Bulky Weave paper, Gernsback laments not being able to please 100% of his readers and some of them complain, just a bit, in the letter column.
Cover mentions. Every author loves them, but do they actually help sell magazines?

Time to activate the way-back machine once more as we journey to February 1927 and the latest issue of Amazing Stories!
Apollo astronauts Gene Cernan, Richard Gordon and Paul Weitz died in 2017. There’s a little known story about each of them.
Xaghra’s Revenge is a well-written, time-travelling historical fantasy. Highly recommended!

Amazing Stories closes out its first year of publication with excerpts from novels by H. G. Wells and Garrett O. Serviss, and much, much more.
NBC no longer producing Amazing Stories TV show. (Or shouldn’t be.)
The November 1926 issue of Amazing Stories contained a lot of dark stories, including the conclusion of the serialization of H. G. Wells’ The Island of Doctor Moreau.
The return of another semi-regular feature, our ten year anniversary review of the magazine’s history.
In issue four of Amazing Stories, Hugo Gernsback editorializes about how much science should appear in stories in his magazine; but, does the fiction deliver?
Steve time travels (again?) back to 1961 with the review of the movie “Hidden Figures” and finds it more than good. Possibly his fave movie so far this year!
Steve tells you where to get a free SF book and revisits/rewrites an old column dealing with Worldcons and nametags and such.
What strange stories would be put in front of readers of the third issue of Amazing Stories?
There were no useable photos taken of Neil Armstrong during his Apollo 11 walk on the Moon.
A creature resembling a cross between a moth, an owl and a devil fish stares into a transparent, ovoid object. Behind it is a landscape of red cliffs and weird buildings; other members of the […]
We continue our ten year anniversaries by month, of Amazing Stories
DC: The New Frontier by Darwyn Cooke has a powerful message that should be experienced by those interested in both history and the DC universe.
