Before the epic movie Pulp Fiction, there was Pulp
Magazines. Pulp magazines (often referred to as "the
pulps") were inexpensive fiction magazines that were
published from 1896 through the 1950s. The term pulp derives
from the cheap wood pulp paper on which the magazines were
printed; in contrast, magazines printed on higher quality
paper were called "glossies" or "slicks". The typical pulp
magazine had 128 pages; it was 7 inches (18 cm) wide by 10
inches (25 cm) high, and 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) thick, with
ragged, untrimmed edges.
In their first decades, pulps were most often priced at ten
cents per magazine, while competing slicks cost 25 cents a
piece. Pulps were the successors to the penny dreadfuls,
dime novels, and short fiction magazines of the 19th
century. Although many respected writers wrote for pulps,
the magazines were best known for their lurid and
exploitative stories and sensational cover art. Modern
superhero comic books are sometimes considered descendants
of "hero pulps"; pulp magazines often featured illustrated
novel-length stories of heroic characters.
Galaxy Science Fiction was an
American digest-size science fiction magazine, published
from 1950 to 1980. It was founded by an Italian company,
World Editions, which was looking to break into the American
market. World Editions hired as editor H. L. Gold, who
rapidly made Galaxy the leading science fiction (sf)
magazine of its time, focusing on stories about social
issues rather than technology. Each issue is about 150 pages.
Also included are the 1st five
Galaxy Readers, a very rare find indeed. The 1st two
are over 500 pages and the last three are over 250 pages.
Please note that this collection contains scans of old magazines, some
of which were in poor condition before being rescued and digitized for
posterity. This means that you may see some covers with creases
and tears that show up in the scans.
