 When Browne took over at the start of 1950, William Hamling was doing most of the editorial work.Browne did not fully take control of the magazine until the end of the year, when Hamling and Palmer both left Ziff-Davis; the quality of the fiction promptly improved at that point, and the first year or two of Browne's tenure are regarded as the high point of "Fantastic Adventures" run.Theodore Sturgeon's novel "The Dreaming Jewels" appeared in February 1950, and Lester del Rey, William Tenn and Walter M. Miller all published notable material.
