(Did you mean a different Science Fiction Digest or Fantasy Magazine?)


Monthly fanzine edited successively by Maurice Z. Ingher, Conrad Ruppert and Julius Schwartz. Later issues included Cosmos - The Serial Novel bound with it. It was published by Ruppert as by the Science Fiction Digest Company. This magazine originated as Science Fiction Digest in September 1932. After December, 1933, it continued under the name Fantasy Magazine.

It was reviewed in William Crawford and D. R. Welch's Science Fiction Bibliography, published in 1935: 

Vol 1, No 1 dated September 1932. Regular monthly publication for two years—first twelve issues large size 8 x 11. The present size has been used since September 1933. Title changed to Fantasy Magazine January 1934. Conrad H. Ruppert and Julius Schwartz have been its editors and publishers.

The Science Fiction Digest is certainly the most valuable magazine for collectors. In its pages are indexes of science fiction in Electrical Experimenter, Science & Invention, Thrill Book, Argosy, All Story, and other Mumsey and Street & Smith publications. There are excellent biographies of many authors, including Edgar Rice Burroughs and A. Merritt; several original short stories, among them “The Scroll of Armageddon” by Arthur J. Burks, “The Drone” by A. Merritt, and “The Vortex World” by Raymond A. Palmer; and a reprint of Merritt’s “Woman of the Wood.”

Beginning July 1933 the famous Cosmos was published serially in supplement form, each installment written by a different author—such names as Ralph Milne Earley, Otis Adelbert Kline, David H. Keller.

All the early issues are out of print. Particularly high premiums have been placed on the Nov. 1933 number (When combination with The Time Traveller was effected); the April 1934 issue which contains Merritt’s installment of COSMOS; and the Anniversary Issue September 1934 featuring “The Drone.” What price these issues will eventually command, no one can prophesy.
