The ALL-STORY

   US PULP MAGAZINE published by the Frank A.MUNSEY Corp.; ed Robert Hobard Davis. AS appeared monthly Jan 1905-Mar 1914, weekly from 7 Mar 1914 (as All-Story Weekly), incorporated Cavalier Weekly (The CAVALIER) to form All-Story Cavalier Weekly from 16 May 1914, and reverted to All-Story Weekly 15 May 1915-17 July 1920, when it merged with Argosy Weekly to form Argosy All-Story Weekly (The ARGOSY). TAS was the most prolific publisher of sf among the pre-1926 pulp magazines; it became important through its editor's discovery of several major authors. Foremost of these in popularity were Edgar Rice BURROUGHS, who was represented with 16 serials and novelettes 1912-20, Ray CUMMINGS, notably with The Girl in the Golden Atom (1919-20; fixup 1921), and A.MERRITT. Other authors who contributed sf to TAS included Douglas DOLD, George Allan ENGLAND, Homer Eon FLINT, J. U.GIESY, Victor ROUSSEAU, Garrett P.SERVISS, Francis STEVENS and Charles B.STILSON. Many of TAS's stories were reprinted in FAMOUS FANTASTIC MYSTERIES and FANTASTIC NOVELS.
