INCOMING.

Busy, busy week.  Too busy to get any Incoming.  **sigh**

What I did have time to do is check out the Hugo Gernsback-edited Amazing Stories that's available online at Internet Archive.  All 37 issues  from Gernsback (April 1926 to April 1929) are there, along with the one issue of Amazing Stories Annual and the five Gernsback issues of Amazing Stories Quarterly (from Winter 1928 to Winter 1929).

Gernsback relied heavily on reprinted science fiction (excuse me, scientificition) by Jules Verne, H. G. Wells, Edgar Allan Poe, and others because there were no pulp science fiction writers in 1926; this was a market that Gernsback had to create.  In the 45 issues here, Gernsback published 25 serial novels, as well as four full-length non-serialized novels.  Of those 29 novels, six were originals and 23 were reprints.  (I'm not counting such books as Philip Francis Nowlan's Armageddon 2419 A.D., which was comprised of two novellas from Amazing Stories.)

As interesting as it is to see how many well-known stories were included as serials and full-length novels Gernsback printed, it's also interesting to see those few that sank into science fiction obscurity.

Here are the stories, listed alphabetically by author;

• Steve Benedict (writing as "Maurius"), The Sixth Glacier* (from Amazing Stories, January and February 1929)

I've read sightly more than half of these stories.  How about you?  How many have you read?  And, as I said, all are available online, so maybe you'll want to catch up on some of these science fiction classics.

* Original to the magazine.  And who the heck is Steve Benedict?  (Turns out he had one previous SF story published as "Maurius."  Hee was silent for 21 years until he published four stories under his own name from 1951 to 1954, three of which were published only in amateur journals.  Beyond that, I know nada.)
