Strange Stories Strange Stories was a pulp magazine which ran for thirteen issues from 1939 to 1941. It was edited by Mort Weisinger, who was not credited. Contributors included Robert Bloch, Eric Frank Russell, C. L. Moore, August Derleth, and Henry Kuttner. "Strange Stories" was a competitor to the established leader in weird fiction, "Weird Tales". With the launch, also in 1939, of the well-received "Unknown", "Strange Stories" was unable to compete. It ceased publication in 1941 when Weisinger left to edit "Superman" comic books.

Unknown (magazine) Unknown (also known as Unknown Worlds) was an American pulp fantasy fiction magazine, published from 1939 to 1943 by Street & Smith, and edited by John W. Campbell. "Unknown" was a companion to Street & Smith's science fiction pulp, "Astounding Science Fiction", which was also edited by Campbell at the time; many authors and illustrators contributed to both magazines. The leading fantasy magazine in the 1930s was "Weird Tales", which focused on shock and horror. Campbell wanted to publish a fantasy magazine with more finesse and humor than "Weird Tales", and put his plans into action when Eric Frank Russell sent him the manuscript of his novel "Sinister Barrier", about aliens who own the human race. "Unknown"' s first issue appeared in March 1939; in addition to "Sinister Barrier", it included H. L. Gold's "Trouble With Water", a humorous fantasy about a New Yorker who meets a water gnome. Gold's story was the first of many in "Unknown" to combine commonplace reality with the fantastic.

Science-Fiction Plus Science-Fiction Plus was a U.S. science fiction magazine published by Hugo Gernsback for seven issues in 1953. In 1926 Gernsback had launched "Amazing Stories," the first science fiction magazine, but he had not been involved in the genre since 1936, when he sold "Wonder Stories". "Science-Fiction Plus" was initially in slick format, meaning that it was large-size and printed on glossy paper. Gernsback had always believed in the educational power of science fiction, and he continued to advocate his views in the new magazine's editorials. The managing editor, Sam Moskowitz, had been a reader of the early pulp magazines, and published many writers who had been popular before World War II, such as Raymond Gallun, Eando Binder, and Harry Bates. Combined with Gernsback's earnest editorials, the use of these early writers gave the magazine an anachronistic feel. Sales were initially good, but soon fell. For the last two issues Gernsback switched the magazine to cheaper pulp paper, but the magazine remained unprofitable. The final issue was dated December 1953.
