Overview: Space Stories was a pulp magazine which published five issues from October 1952 to June 1953. It was published by Standard Magazines, and edited by Samuel Mines. Mines’ editorial policy for Space Stories was to publish straightforward science fiction adventure stories.
The early 1950s saw dramatic changes in the world of science fiction publishing. At the start of 1949, all but one of the major magazines in the field were in pulp format; by the end of 1955, almost all had either ceased publication or switched to digest format. Despite the rapid decline of the pulp market, several new science fiction magazines were launched in pulp format during these years. Space Stories was one of the last of these. Samuel Mines, the editor, had worked for Standard Magazines since 1942, though not on the science fiction pulps; he had taken over the editorship of the sf titles when Sam Merwin left Standard in 1951.
In the first issue, Mines declared that Space Stories’ editorial policy would be focused on entertainment: it would be aimed at readers “who want action and thrills, strange and exotic backgrounds, weird and wonderful adventure”, instead of the “coldly mental story, the complex parable, the tale of social significance”. The response in the letters column of the magazine was positive, with several fans quoting Mines’ editorial approvingly. Mines was able to obtain stories from well-known writers.
