… The magazine of scientifiction.

ANOTHER fiction magazine! At first thought it does seem impossible that there could be room for another fiction magazine in this country. The reader may well wonder, “Aren’t there enough already, with the several hundreds now being published?” True. But this is not “another fiction magazine,” AMAZING STORIES is a new kind of fiction magazine! It is entirely new —entirely different—something that has never been done before in this country. Therefore, AMAZING STORIES deserves your attention and interest.
There is the usual fiction magazine, the love story and the sex-appeal type of magazine, the adventure type, and so on, but a magazine of “Scientifiction” is a pioneer in its field in America.
By “scientifiction” I mean the Jules Verne, H. G. Wells , and Edgar Allan Poe type of story—a charming romance intermingled with scientific fact and prophetic vision.
