Auction History Result 1m0592 LOT OF 3 AMAZING STORIES PULP MAGAZINES 1950s each with great cover art! Date Sold 1/23/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. a lot of 3 1950s issues of Amazing Stories, the American science fiction magazine first published in April 1926 by Hugo Gernsback's Experimenter Publishing. It was the first magazine devoted solely to science fiction. There had been some science fiction stories in other magazines, including some published by Gernsback, but this one helped define and launch a new genre of pulp fiction (and it was called "scientifiction" at first!). Amazing Stories was published, with some interruptions, for almost eighty years! It was initially approximately 8 1/2" x 11", and printed on very inexpensive pulp paper (like what was used in newspapers at that time), but the covers were printed on a better quality paper stock (after many years, they switched to a smaller "digest" size, as did all the others). They hired some of the best fantasy artists to do their covers, which normally illustrated the longest story in that particular issue!
