Abstract

The Pulp Fiction Magazine Collection houses publications that show examples of various types of pulp fiction published in the mid-20th century, which includes titles such as Astounding magazine (1934-1964)—later known as Analog Science Fact & Fiction magazine—and Galaxy magazine (1950-1964). These popular science fiction magazines featured articles by noted writers such as Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, Amelia Reynolds Long, Theodore Sturgeon, A.E. Van Vogt, and C.L. Moore, as well as illustrations by Chesley Bonestell, John Schoenherr, and Jack Coggins. In addition to articles and illustrations, these publications also included a variety of advertisements that revealed the current social values of the period. This included advertisements for Eveready Batteries, Listerine, and Victory Bonds.
