Talk:Galaxy Science Fiction
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I seem to remember Galaxy magazine having some connection with "Worlds of If" at some point, like maybe they bought out the magazine and merged editorial content (maybe in the 1970s). Does anyone know for sure? I suppose I could do some research via Google and see if I can find anything. I loved Galazy back in the seventies, when I was a subscriber. I think somewhere I actually have a copy of a special edition from 1974. soulpatch
If, later called Worlds of If, was launched by James L. Quinn, apparently, in March 1952. I'm too lazy to do the research right now. :) Ejler Jakobsson and successor Jim Baen tried to reintroduce If with a new cover format in 1974, but the magazine failed and was incorporated into Galaxy, as I should have- (now have)- mentioned. I have 4 issues from that period. k4f 08:57 Dec 5, 2002 (UTC)

H. L. Gold vs Horace L. Gold: I think Gold is much more widely known as H.L. Gold, and that when a main entry is made it should be under that name. If I do it first I shall certainly try to establish "H.L. Gold" as the primary name. Right now if anyone searches for H.L. Gold they're going to have trouble finding anything. k4f 05:13 Dec 8, 2002 (UTC)
Trivia: a (presumed fictional) issue of Galaxy marked "September 1953, 38 cents" appears in the Star Trek: DS9 episode "Far Beyond the Stars." Worth mentioning? 168.9.120.8 16:27, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
