Amazing Stories is an American science fiction magazine launched in April 1926 by Hugo Gernsback's Experimenter Publishing. It was the first magazine devoted solely to science fiction. Science fiction stories had made regular appearances in other magazines, including some published by Gernsback, but Amazing helped define and launch a new genre of pulp fiction.

The Argosy was the first pulp magazine and progenitor of an entire medium. It did not begin as a pulp, however, but as a weekly "story paper" titled The Golden Argosy, consisting of youth-oriented fiction and "rags to riches" tales by the likes of Horatio Alger, Jr. and Edward S. Ellis. It was the brainchild of Frank Andrew Munsey, a Western Union telegraph manager who dreamed "great dreams to the tune of the printing-press."

Wonder Stories was an early American science fiction magazine which was published under several titles from 1929 to 1955. It was founded by Hugo Gernsback in 1929 after he had lost control of his first science fiction magazine, Amazing Stories, when his media company Experimenter Publishing went bankrupt. Within a few months of the bankruptcy, Gernsback launched three new magazines: Air Wonder Stories, Science Wonder Stories, and Science Wonder Quarterly.

Answer Me! (typically rendered ANSWER Me!) was a magazine edited by Jim Goad and Debbie Goad and published between 1991 and 1994. It focused on the social pathologies of interest to the Los Angeles–based couple. Answer Me! also featured illustrations by racist antisemitic cartoonist Nick Bougas. Issue 4 of Answer Me! was the subject of a high-profile obscenity trial against two booksellers whose magazine store carried the issue.

Astonishing Stories was an American pulp science fiction magazine, published by Popular Publications between 1940 and 1943. It was founded under Popular's "Fictioneers" imprint, which paid lower rates than Popular's other magazines. The magazine's first editor was Frederik Pohl, who also edited a companion publication, Super Science Stories. After nine issues Pohl was replaced by Alden H. Norton, who subsequently rehired Pohl as an assistant. The budget for Astonishing was very low, which made it difficult to acquire good fiction, but through his membership in the Futurians, a group of young science fiction fans and aspiring writers, Pohl was able to find material to fill the early issues.

The USSR had a cult of science, the prestige of which was exceptionally high, and scientists enjoyed great respect. This in large part owed to the fact that Marxism was the prevailing ideology of the Bolshevik state. Such an ideology was referred to as “scientific,” and Soviet universities even taught "Scientific Communism".
