OUT OF THIS WORLD ADVENTURES

OUT OF THIS WORLD ADVENTURES
   US PULP MAGAZINE. 2 issues, July 1950 and Dec 1950, published by Avon Periodicals; ed Donald A. WOLLHEIM. \#1 included an impressive line-up of authors: A. Bertram CHANDLER, Ray CUMMINGS, Lester DEL REY, Kris NEVILLE, Mack REYNOLDS, William TENN and A.E. VAN VOGT. The stories, however, werenot the authors' best, and Chandler was the only writer of equivalent stature in \#2. An unusual feature was a 32pp COMICS section in colour (\#2 of the Canadian edition included a different comics section from that in the US edition). The comics feature proved not to be the expected selling point, and the magazine flopped.

   OOTWA should not be confused with the UK weird-fiction DIGEST magazine Out of this World (2 issues 1954-5), published by John Spencer \& Co. (BADGER BOOKS).
