Pulp Serials of the 1940s

Pulp magazines in the 1940s were a huge part of the Golden Age of Science Fiction. Under John W. Campbell, Jr.  Astounding published works by scifi giants like Isaac Asimov, Lester del Rey, Robert A. Heinlein, Henry Kuttner and C.L. Moore, Theodore Sturgeon, L. Sprague de Camp, Jack Williamson, L. Ron Hubbard, and Clifford D. Simak. 

Another title, Super Science Stories, edited by Alden H. Norton, published the first work by Ray Bradbury, "Pendulum," in 1941. 

The influence of the pulp serials in the 1940s on the SFF genres can still be felt in works being published today. Our collection includes hundreds of issues of the most influential pulp serial titles from this decade, including Astonishing Stories, Astounding Science Fiction, Super Science Stories, Planet Stories, andThrilling Wonder Stories.
