*Pulp Fiction: Astounding Science Fiction (later Analog) was the most famous science fiction pulp magazine, and, under the editorial reins of John W Campbell, ushered in the Golden Age of science fiction, with all the big names of American and British sci-fi who rose to fame in the 1940s and 1950s. We have four issues from that time fresh in this week, with many of those famous names. Great ads and artwork too. By the time featured in the earliest of these updates (1946) the magazine had become digest-sized. Three US and one UK version.
