AUTHENTIC SCIENCE FICTION
- AUTHENTIC SCIENCE FICTION
UK magazine. 85 issues, 1 Jan 1951-Oct 1957, published by Hamilton \& Co., Stafford, fortnightly to 8 then monthly, issues numbered consecutively, no vol numbers; ed L.G.Holmes (Gordon Landsborough) (Jan 1951-Nov 1952), H.J. CAMPBELL (Dec 1952-Jan 1956) and E.C.TUBB (Feb 1956-Oct 1957). Pocketbook-size Jan 1951-Feb 1957, DIGEST-size Mar-Oct 1957. 1 and 2 were entitled Authentic Science Fiction Series, 3-8 Science Fiction Fortnightly, 9-12 Science Fiction Monthly, 13-28 Authentic Science Fiction, 29-68 Authentic Science Fiction Monthly, 69-77 Authentic Science Fiction again, and finally Authentic Science Fiction Monthly 78-85. This magazine began as a numbered book series, with each number containing one novel, but a serial was begun in 26 and short stories appeared from 29. H. J.Campbell, under whose editorship the magazine considerably improved, included numerous science articles during his tenure, but E.C.Tubb gradually eliminated most of the nonfiction. The proportion of original stories relative to reprints increased. Full-length novels were phased out and transferred to Hamilton's new paperbook line, Panther Books. The covers got off to a bad start, but from 35 many fine covers by Davis (art editor John Richards) and others appeared featuring space flight and astronomy. Authentic's rates of payment (ps1 per 1000 words) were low even for the time, and although the magazine sold well it seldom published stories of the first rank; an exception was The Rose (Mar 1953) by Charles L.HARNESS. House pseudonyms were common and included Jon J.DEEGAN and Roy SHELDON. The mainstay contributors, under their own names and pseudonyms, were Bryan BERRY, Sydney J.BOUNDS, H.K.BULMER, William F.TEMPLE and Tubb.
