AMERICAN SCIENCE FICTION MAGAZINE

AMERICAN SCIENCE FICTION MAGAZINE
   Australian monthly pocketbook magazine, a companion to SELECTED SCIENCE FICTION. 41 issues, June 1952-Dec 1955, unnumbered and undated 32pp booklets. Published by Malian Press, Sydney; no editor named. The first 24 issues did not carry the word magazine on the cover, and it has been suggested that the publishers had bought book rights rather than serial rights to stories, which would explain the coyness about its being a regular periodical. ASFM contained reprints from US magazines of quite a good standard, including stories by James BLISH, John W.CAMPBELL Jr and Robert A.HEINLEIN.
