About this Item

Soft Cover. Star Publications 1953 - 1954. A complete run of Cosmos : Science Fiction & Fantasy Magazine. Book condition: VF - Very Fine. US Digest-size magazine. 4 issues, irregular, September 1953 to July 1954, published by Star Publications; edited by L B Cole. This was an unremarkable magazine of moderate standard which published no memorable fiction; the actual editing was done by Laurence M Janifer at the Scott Meredith Literary Agency. Meredith had arranged a packaging deal with a number of publishers to produce crime, mystery and SF magazines during the digest magazine boom of the early 1950s. Contents were assembled based more on budgets than any publishing policy. Star Publications, owned by Jerome Kramer, was really a comic-book publisher wishing to test the SF digest field and had only a small budget. Includes writing by: Carl Jacobi, Poul Anderson, Philip K. Dick, Evan Hunter, John Jakes, Ross Rocklynne, A. Bertram Chandler, B. Traven, Dr. Robert S. Richardson, Irving Cox Jnr, Henry S. Galus, Jack Vance, Tom Beach. Winston K. Marks, Algis Budrys, Steve Frazee, Ben Smith, Larry M. Harris. 130 pages. Size: 6" x 7" (140mm x 190mm). (0.5). Seller Inventory # COSMOSSF
