Famous Fantastic Mysteries, January 1940

Ralph Milne Farley

0/5 ( ratings)

Developed in the 1890s and lasting into the 1950s, the "pulp" magazine format was a low-cost means of delivering fiction short stories to the masses. In many ways, the pulp magazine was a predecessor to the comic book of today and several famous comic book heroes got their start in pulp magazines.

Famous Fantastic Mysteries was first issued in 1939 but introduced few original works. It is better known for republishing stories controlled by Frank A. Munsey Co., its publisher. Many of the stories had appeared years, sometimes decades earlier in such pulp magazines as The Argosy and The All-Story Magazine.

This January 1940 issue includes the following stories:
On the Brink of 2000 by Garrett Smith
Behind the Curtain by Francis Stevens
The Radio Man by Ralph Milne Farley
The Red Germ of Courage by R. F. Starzl
An Astral Gentleman by Robert Wilbur Lull
The Conquest of the Moon Pool by A. Merritt
The "V" Force by Fred C. Smale
