  • A Ficção Científica De Acordo Com Os Futurians Science Fiction According
    A ficção científica de acordo com os Futurians Science Fiction According to the Futurians Andreya Susane Seiffert1 DOI: 10.19177/memorare.v8e12021204-216 Resumo: The Futurian Society of New York, ou simplesmente The Futurians, foi um grupo de fãs e posteriormente escritores e editores de ficção científica, que existiu de 1938 a 1945. O período é geralmente lembrado pela atuação do editor John Cambpell Jr. à frente da Astounding Science Fiction. A revista era, de fato, a principal pulp à época e moldou muito do que se entende por ficção científica até hoje. Os Futurians eram, de certa forma, uma oposição a Campbell e seu projeto. Três membros do grupo viraram editores também e foram responsáveis por seis revistas pulps diferentes, em que foram publicadas dezenas de histórias com autoria dos Futurians. Esse artigo analisa parte desse material e procura fazer um pequeno panorama de como os Futurians pensaram e praticaram a ficção científica no início da década de 1940. Palavras-chave: Ficção Científica. Futurians. Abstract: The Futurian Society of New York, or simply The Futurians, was a group of fans and later writers and editors of science fiction, which existed from 1938 to 1945. The period is generally remembered for the role of editor John Cambpell Jr. at the head of Astounding Science Fiction. The magazine was, in fact, the main pulp at the time and shaped much of what is understood by science fiction until today. The Futurians were, in a way, an opposition to Campbell and his project. Three members of the group became editors as well and were responsible for six different pulp magazines, in which dozens of stories were published by the Futurians.

  • Checklist of Fantasy Magazines 1945
    A CHECKLIST OF FANTASY MAGAZINES 1945 Edition Bulletin Number One 20 c to Subscribers PREFACE As the first of a long line of Foundation publications we are happy to present a relatively complete checklist of all fantasy periodicals. Insofar as the major Eng­ lish-language titles are concerned, we believe this list to be both complete and error-free, but it was not poss­ ible to furnish an adequate listing of.several of the more obscure items. It is also very likely that there exist several foreign language publications whose names are not even known to us. Anyone able to furnish addi­ tional information is requested to send it to Forrest J. Ackerman, 236^ N. New Hampshire, Los Angeles 4, Cal., for inclusion in the next edition of this checklist. No author is shown on the title page of this pamphlet because in its present form it is the work of at least five individuals: Norman V. Lamb, William H. Evans, Merlin W. Brown, Forrest J. Ackerman, and Francis T, Laney. The Fantasy Foundation wishes to extend its thanks to these gentlemen, as well as to the several members of the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society who assisted in its production.

  • Eng 4936 Syllabus
    ENG 4936 (Honors Seminar): Reading Science Fiction: The Pulps Professor Terry Harpold Spring 2019, Section 7449 Time: MWF, per. 5 (11:45 AM–12:35 PM) Location: Little Hall (LIT) 0117 office hours: M, 4–6 PM & by appt. (TUR 4105) email: [email protected] home page for Terry Harpold: http://users.clas.ufl.edu/tharpold/ e-Learning (Canvas) site for ENG 4936 (registered students only): http://elearning.ufl.edu Course description The “pulps” were illustrated fiction magazines published between the late 1890s and the late 1950s. Named for the inexpensive wood pulp paper on which they were printed, they varied widely as to genre, including aviation fiction, fantasy, horror and weird fiction, detective and crime fiction, railroad fiction, romance, science fiction, sports stories, war fiction, and western fiction. In the pulps’ heyday a bookshop or newsstand might offer dozens of different magazines on these subjects, often from the same publishers and featuring work by the same writers, with lurid, striking cover and interior art by the same artists. The magazines are, moreover, chock-full of period advertising targeted at an emerging readership, mostly – but not exclusively – male and subject to predictable The first issue of Amazing Stories, April 1926. Editor Hugo Gernsback worries and aspirations during the Depression and Pre- promises “a new sort of magazine,” WWII eras. (“Be a Radio Expert! Many Make $30 $50 $75 featuring the new genre of a Week!” “Get into Aviation by Training at Home!” “scientifiction.” “Listerine Ends Husband’s Dandruff in 3 Weeks!” “I’ll Prove that YOU, too, can be a NEW MAN! – Charles Atlas.”) The business end of the pulps was notoriously inconstant and sometimes shady; magazines came into and went out of publication with little fanfare; they often changed genres or titles without advance notice.

  • Yandro Biblio Sup. 2 FFM by Wood 63-09
    C J # / - Famous Fantastic Mysteries ; ’ Golden Memories by --------------------------------- EDWARD WOOD SEPTEMBER 63 A whole decede has now passed since the death of Famous Fantastic Mysteries. It was one of that Ill-fated brood of magazines spawned by the second resurgence (1938-^1) and of which, not one remains. Edited by Mary Gnaedinger, it was a reprint magazine, with material from the Munsey magazines (1939-^2;19^9-53science fiction and fantasy books (19^3-53) and stories from other fantasy magazines (19^9-53)• Consid­ ered as an integral part of the parent magazine will be its shorter lived companions, Fantastic Novels and A. Merritt1s Fantasy Magazine. In the summer of 1939 the first FFM appeared, with a red lightning flash logo, the title of the magazine in white letters and the contents page printed on a sick yellow cover. Note that Unknown Worlds was later to copy this cover idea. Not until the March 19^0 issue was there to be a "symbolic" pictorial cover. That first bi-monthly issue, dated September-October 1939, was priced at 15^ and had the rough edges and crude Illustrations common to Argosy Weekly of the time. At least two names on the cover would have made an immediate Impression on any read­ er of science fiction or fantasy of more than 6 months 1 experience—Mer­ ritt’s "The Moon Pool"(1) and Cummings’ "The Girl in the Golden Atom" (2). The rest of that first issue deserves to be listed: "Space Sta­ tion No. 1"(3) by Manly Wade Wellman, "The Whimpus"(M by Todd Robbins, "Karpen the Jew" (5) by Robert Neal Leath, "The Witch-Makers11 (6) by Don­ ald Wandrei and "Blind Man’s Buff"(7) by J.U.

  • As Well As Bill Lampkin's the Pulp.Net at and Don't
    Pulp-related books and periodicals available from Mike Chomko for January 2015 Despite plans for a catalog in late October or some time in November, here I am at the beginning of 2015 with more excuses. Of late, everyday life has been interfering a great deal with my bookselling efforts. I’ve had no catalog for months and my shipping has pretty much ground to a halt. That said, I will be very busy shipping books over the next few weeks. As you’ll learn later in this catalog, a great deal of material arrived during the last couple of weeks of November and throughout December. Five more boxes were left on my front porch just after New Year’s Day. So there will be a lot to get out the door during the month of January. Most of my time during the last months of 2014—outside of a week spent helping my son and new daughter-in-law get ready for their wedding—has been spent on our remodeling work and working at the hospital. Most of our remodeling work is very much underway and I am hoping that I’ll be able to get back to a somewhat normal schedule in the months ahead. There is still a good bit of work to do, but the pressures of getting things ready for work to progress are diminishing. Thank you everyone for your patience with me and for your continued support. For those of you who purchase Girasol replicas from me, most if not all of this line will be ending in July 2015.
