The editors were Anthony Boucher and J, Francis McComas, Boucher alone, Robert P. Mills, Avram Davidson, Joseph W. Ferman and Edward L. Ferman. The publishers were Fantasy House Inc., Mercury Publications and Mercury Press. Unlike other SF magazine of the period, there were almost no interior illustrations, thus leaving more room for stories. Some notable tales were Star Lummox (Star Beast), Door Into Summer, Glory Road, Have Spacesuit Will Travel, Starship Soldier (Starship Troopers), All You Zombies, all by Heinlein, Born of Man and Woman (Matheson), Bring the Jubilee (Ward Moore), the John the Ballad Singer stories by Wellman, the People series by Henderson, Canticle of Leibowitz stories by Walter M.

Isaac Asimov wrote a well-received science column from November 1958 on. There were a number of Author Special issues, each of which contained new stories by the author, bibliographies and commentary on the author by other writers and authorities: Theodore Sturgeon, Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, Fritz Leiber, Poul Anderson, James Blish, Frederick Pohl, Robert Silverberg, Damon Knight & Harlan Ellison. Many issues were obtained by subscription (no labels), never read, and are thus fine. A couple have some spine damage, there is some cover creasing, small tears and scuffing, condition ranges from good to as new, with most being at least VG+ to near fine. Inquiries on condition, contents or requests for cover scans of individual volumes are welcomed.
