Cover of the April 1958 issue, by Ed Emshwiller

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 focused on longer articles than Infinity, mainly action-adventure stories. Historian Mike Ashley considers that this was the best of similar magazines. Robert Silverberg was a prolific contributor, sometimes pseudonymously, and he also collaborated with Randall Garrett in the first issue. Other writers who occasionally appeared included Harlan Ellison, Cyril M. Kornbluth, Algis Budrys, and Harry Harrison. Ed Emshwiller contributed cover art for nine issues, with John Schoenherr doing one other. The magazine was cancelled because of disappointing sales; the last issue was for June 1958, and 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...)
