JANE and Warwick Goble. Sf continued intermittently into the 1930s, sometimes originally, as with John Raphael's weird sf novel UpAbove (1912; 1913), and sometimes with reprints, as with Douglas NEWTON's "Sunken Cities" (1923) from MUNSEY'S MAGAZINE.A US edition appeared Mar 1899-Apr 1925 with substantially different contents. In particular it serialized H.G. Wells's War in the Air (1908; 1908) a month or two after the original publication in Pall Mall Magazine.
