 It was merged with "Fantastic"; the last issue was dated March 1953, and the May–June issue of "Fantastic" added a mention of "Fantastic Adventures" to the masthead, though this disappeared with the following issue.Palmer's goal for "Fantastic Adventures" was to create a magazine that published fantasy fiction but was the literary equal of the quality magazines—the "slicks", such as "The Saturday Evening Post".Although mixing science fiction with fantasy was not popular with sf fans of the era, Palmer consciously promoted the magazine as containing the best of both worlds; the slogan on the cover read "The Best in Science Fiction", but Palmer also wrote blurbs in "Amazing Stories" for "Fantastic Adventures" in which he extolled the value to a reader of getting both genres in a single magazine.
