Science Fiction Adventures was a US science fiction magazine, published

from 1956 to 1958 by Royal Publications as a companion to Infinity Science
Fiction and edited by Larry Shaw for all 12 issues. It printed action-adventure
stories, focusing on fiction longer than Infinity's. Historian Mike Ashley
considers it better than similarly edited magazines Imagination and
Imaginative Tales. Robert Silverberg contributed prolifically, sometimes
pseudonymously. He collaborated with Randall Garrett in the first issue.
Occasionally contributing writers included Harlan Ellison, Cyril M.
Kornbluth, Algis Budrys, and Harry Harrison. Ed Emshwiller contributed
April 1958 cover, cover art for nine issues (example pictured), with John Schoenherr doing one
by Ed Emshwiller other. Canceled due to disappointing sales, the magazine's last issue was for
June 1958; Infinity only lasted a few months longer. A British reprint edition
commenced in early 1958, edited by John Carnell and continued for 32 issues by using reprints
and original material. (Full article...)
