IF: Technically WORLDS OF IF, the first part of the title was in such tiny print, it was virtually unnoticed. This companion to GALAXY ran for over 20 years, reaching it's zenith in the 1960's. For a while it was fused with WORLDS OF TOMORROW. It featured a mix of the well-known writers like Heinlein and Asimov and lesser known and some new authors

Steve Duke/Gree: Running on and off for about 3-1/4 years, this space adventure series has just about gone into obscurity, despite the fact that it ran in one of the most popular science fiction magazines, along with the Berserker series. I was unable to find ANYTHING on Google for years so I figured I would do something about it. This is the largest and maybe only repository of material on these wonderful space adventure (until about 40 years ago, "space opera" was a dirty word: Not because of the adventurous content, but because of the quality of storytelling in the 1930's and 40's) tales
