 Amazing Stories
Amazing Stories magazine, sometimes retitled Amazing Science Fiction, was first published in April 1926, thereby becoming the first magazine devoted exclusively to publishing stories in the genre presently known as science fiction and one of the pioneers of science fiction in the English-speaking world.
Amazing printed reader comments in a letter column which included the full addresses of its correspondents, which allowed fans of the genre to begin contacting each other in person and via the mails, and Wonder Stories began chartering local fan clubs under the umbrella of the Science Fiction League.
In its early actual pulp years, there were companion titles including Amazing Stories Quarterly and Fantastic Adventures Quarterly; at the time, "returns" were complete copies of the magazines, so they were stripped of their original covers and three consecutive issues would be bound together under one new cover and offered for sale again.

Amazing was the first science fiction magazine, but it did not appear without context.
Science fiction stories had been appearing in these titles and had been popular, so an all-fiction magazine was a natural experiment.
For some years Amazing followed a less serious bent under editor Raymond A. Palmer, achieving commercial success but critical derision for its "Shaver Mystery" stories of creatures allegedly inside the Earth which were presented not as sf but fact.

Steven Spielberg’s 1985-1987 television anthology series “Amazing Stories” remained one of the filmmaker’s last holdouts to make it to the DVD format, but on July 18, 2006, the first season of the classic series will finally be released on DVD thanks to Universal.
