IMAGINATIVE TALES

IMAGINATIVE TALES
   US DIGEST-size magazine. 26 issues. A bimonthly companion to IMAGINATION, IT was published by William HAMLING's Greenleaf Publishing Co., ed Hamling, Sep 1954-Nov 1958. The last 3 issues, July-Nov 1958, were published under the title Space Travel (but continued the previous numeration) in a doomed effort to capture the post-Sputnik space-enthusiast market.IT began as a humorous FANTASY magazine, the first 6 issues featuring complete novels in the style of Thorne Smith(1892-1934) by Charles F. Myers and Robert BLOCH, but from Sep 1955 it reverted to a policy identical to that of its companion, featuring only sf, with a short novel heading every issue. Regular writers included Edmond HAMILTON, Geoff St Reynard (Robert W. Krepps) and Dwight V. SWAIN,while the supporting short fiction was principally supplied by authors from the regular stable writing for the ZIFF-DAVIS magazines AMZ and Fantastic.
