In the News (Sun 8 Nov 09)

  
  Lou Anders (Editor, Argosy magazine)
Argosy's eclectic content is complimented by its unusual format: the digest-sized magazine is accompanied by a separate trade-paperback novella, with both volumes presented in an attractive slipcase.
But Argosy is definitely a magazine with an agenda, and part of that agenda is returning the short story to a place of more prominence and importance in the current publishing scene (and not just the genre short story either).
It’s not like any other magazine out there, and we’ve been feeling our way in the dark and learning the ropes as we go, and what we thought at first was a good idea turned out to be a bad one.

  Argosy (magazine) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Argosy was an American pulp magazine, considered to be the first pulp magazine, published by Frank Munsey.
Thereafter it was largely a fiction magazine, until it ceased publication well into the 20th century.
Other magazines have used the title since the original folded; the latest produced its first issue in 2003.

 Browne Popular Culture Library   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Pulp magazines were sold primarily at newsstands rather than through mail subscriptions, and, by 1914, the dramatic, illustrated cover had emerged as the primary means of attracting readers away from the competition.
Some pulps lived on as digest magazines; the greatest of the postwar science fiction magazines, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, was founded in 1949 as a digest and set the style for science fiction periodicals to follow.
Functionally, the pulp magazine, a 10-by-7-inch magazine printed on cheap paper, was dead as a form by the late fifties.

Argosy under many different variations of a title published one issue a week for decades and becomes one of the hardest pulps to collect a complete file.
The Pulps were also known a pulpwood magazines and given the connotation of poorly written magazines for the masses.
The publishers who would later go on to publish D.C. Comics, sold their line of magazines for a princely sum of 25 cents each and most of the sales was either under the counter or hidden on racks because of their racy cover art.

 A Brief History of Science Fiction & Pulp Magazines
These "pulp magazines", originating with The Argosy in the 1890's, had grown and multiplied during the first 30 years of the 20th century, and by 1930 there were hundreds of titles, many "sf" oriented, many general adventure, western and air-war, some "spicy", some "love," and many "hero" or character centered.
Argosy would make a dramatic change from "pulp fiction" to "men's adventure" in 1943, a milestone in the history of pulp magazines.
There was a brief revival of interest in pulp magazines in the early 1940's but by 1947, pulp readers were turning to Ballantine and Ace "paperbacks", and by 1954 all the pulps were gone.

 Sequential Tart: James Owen — Living Life Like a Comet in Flight (vol VII/iss 2/February 2004)
As with Argosy's sister magazine, International Studio, the impetus for starting a magazine was born of the inability to find a magazine within the field that I actually liked.
Art magazines, for the most part, seemed to be mostly about art that no one liked, but which was very expensive and therefore important, or art that wasn't very good, but which was popular because it was accessible.
Now, given the advantages of serializing comics in a magazine, it's important to note that we don't have to give up the other advantages of a collection — because the magazine serves the same purpose as a miniseries of basically being a monthly ad for the eventual permanent collection.

 Death to Slush
Argosy Magazine shuts the door on unsolicited manuscripts.
Another sinking feeling for budding new SFF writers, as one more speculative fiction magazine joins the ranks of periodicals and book publishers who are increasingly making writing an invitation-only affair.
We thank all of those who sent work our way for their time and effort, but the percentage of unsolicited work we have purchased versus commissioned work does not make maintaining the slush pile a viable option at the present time.

 Ellen Wood - A Biographical Sketch
Wood is known to have given birth to two daughters (one of whom died in infancy from scarlet fever) and at least three sons.
One of her sons, Charles, became Wood’s partner at the Argosy magazine, and wrote the only, but highly inadequate, biography of his mother.
These are probably her best contributions to her own magazine and were very popular with readers and other writers.

 Argosy Magazine # 2 (May/June 2004) edited by Lou Anders and James A. Owen
'Argosy' is a new anthology magazine originating from America.
Not surprising that it is a four-coloured, perfect-bound magazine that is printed on heavy silk stock paper.
The one main problem with 'Argosy' is that it needs a little more coherency to be highly readable like some of its more established counterparts.

 ERB Biblio 0729: Tarzan and the Forbidden City
The original version of this story was produced as a radio serial drama entitled "Tarzan and the Diamond of Asher." ERB makes no mention of the radio drama in his working notebook, but he does mention starting the book on October 10, 1937 and finishing it on November 18, 1937.
Also, the fact that the Munsey line of magazines were at that time referred to as "Red Star" magazines, ay or may not have been a coincidence.
Whatever the mystery of the Red Star may prove to be, we offer this story here, exactly as published by Argosy 36 years ago, for the entertainment of the Burroughs Bibliophiles.
