 Asimov's Science Fiction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Instead, George H. Scithers was hired as the magazine's first editor.
Scithers was an editor whose taste in science fiction was similar to Asimov's, favoring traditional stories with a strong hero in a future setting.
Scithers left the magazine after five years, winning two Hugo awards as best editor, and was succeeded by Shawna McCarthy.

 About George H. Scithers: Four Hugos, His Innate Wickedness, Woof, and All That
George is one of the earliest members of the Hyborian Legion, an association devoted to the perpetuation and admiration of Robert E. Howard, Conan, and all things swordly and sorcerous.
George was once a worldcon chairman and has lived to tell about it, having run Discon I in 1963, having made several basic innovations in worldcon procedures which are still with us today.
He is also a great patron of the art of the Limerick, for example, and of the Feghoot (those short-short stories that end in awful puns, as pioneered by the late Reginald Bretnor in his Ferdinand Feghoot series, the very last of which appeared in Weird Tales).

Due to the energy efficiency and environmental safety of this mode of t ransport a proposal was submitted to the proper authorities for a grant to develop commercial applications of this discovery.
Nowadays ``Old Cultist'' could be applied to George Scithers, Dave Rike, or Howard DeVore depending on how one measures oldness, or to White again, if he works his way back up the IWL to Membership.
In a rare burst of understanding about the true nature of the CULT (indeed, perhaps the only time He evidenced such understanding) He wrote an impassioned letter to FR 364 defending His illegible publication and threatening all and sundry with Thunderbolts (or worse) unless He was dropped immediately.

Long acknowledged as a master of nightmarish visions, H. Lovecraft established the genuineness and dignity of his own pioneering fiction in 1931 with his quintessential work of supernatural horror, At the Mountains of Madness.

 The SF Site: A Brief History of Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine
There was Analog, of course, and the venerable Galaxy -- but there was also the second issue of a brand new magazine, graced with a cover photo of a distinguished gentleman with long white sideburns, and the rather cumbersome title of Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine.
IASFM was the brainchild of Joel Davis, President and Publisher of Davis Publications, Inc., and was edited by the multi-talented George H. Scithers.
Alas, the diligent George Scithers -- no doubt cursing Isaac under his breath as he sifted through a crushing load of submissions -- couldn't see his way clear to overlook a few minor grammatical imperfections, spelling innovations, and plot holes.

 SF Citations for OED
James A. Landau submitted a 1969 cite from Richard Eney's essay "Swords and Sorcery" from "The Conan Swordbook", edited by L. Sprague de Camp and George H. Scithers.
Lin Carter, in the cite submitted by Michael Swanwick, remarks that the term was coined by Fritz Leiber in a letter of comment published in "Ancalagon" and subsequently in the July 1961 issue of "Amra"; George Scithers submitted this cite from "Amra".
Directly, Amra's articles deal with what we call Heroic Fantasy, or sword-and-sorcery fiction—that kind of story in which heroes and villains may cast a spell or wield a blade with equal propriety, according to the terrain and the tactical situation: in a general sense, stories with pre-gunpowder technology in which magic works.
