Dick, Isaac Asimov, John Wyndham, Algis Budrys, Zenna Henderson, Jerome Bixby, Philip Jose Farmer, Fredric Brown, and others. It could not duplicate the audience of Campbell's Unknown which failed due to WWII paper shortages. This magazine's content was not broad based fantasy fiction, while it did publish quality fiction, it stayed away from traditional fantasy and popular sword and sorcery. It also got lost in the SF digest magazine boom. The covers of the first two issues are by Richard Powers.
