INFINITY SCIENCE FICTION

INFINITY SCIENCE FICTION
   US DIGEST-size magazine. 20 issues Nov 1955-Nov 1958, published by Royal Publications, ed Larry T. SHAW; irregular, with 4 months between some issues, 1 month between others. ISF was one of the most interesting of the flood of new sf magazines in the early and mid-1950s. Its first issue featured Arthur C. CLARKE's HUGO-winning story "The Star", and the magazine went on to publish other good stories by such authors as Isaac ASIMOV, James BLISH, Algis BUDRYS, Damon KNIGHT and C.M. KORNBLUTH; HarlanELLISON made his debut here with "Glow Worm" (1956). Robert SILVERBERG was another regular - and sometimes prolific-contributor; \#20 contained book reviews by him and also 3 of his stories (including "Ozymandias", published as by Ivar Jorgenson). Damon Knight had earlier been ISF's regular critic; much of the material in In Search of Wonder (1956; rev 1967) originated in ISF. After the first issue, all the covers werepainted by Ed EMSHWILLER. The original anthology series INFINITY described itself as the "lineal descendant" of ISF.
