In 1952, the magazine was acquired by Robert Guinn, its printer. By the late 1950s, <a href="/wiki/Frederik_Pohl" title="Frederik Pohl">Frederik Pohl</a> was helping Gold with most aspects of the magazine's production. When Gold's health worsened, Pohl took over as editor, starting officially at the end of 1961, though he had been doing the majority of the production work for some time. Under Pohl Galaxy had continued success, regularly publishing fiction by writers such as <a href="/wiki/Cordwainer_Smith" title="Cordwainer Smith">Cordwainer Smith</a>, <a href="/wiki/Jack_Vance" title="Jack Vance">Jack Vance</a>, <a href="/wiki/Harlan_Ellison" title="Harlan Ellison">Harlan Ellison</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Robert_Silverberg" title="Robert Silverberg">Robert Silverberg</a>. Pohl never won the annual <a href="/wiki/Hugo_Award" title="Hugo Award">Hugo Award</a> for his stewardship of Galaxy, winning three Hugos instead for its sister magazine, <a href="/wiki/If_(magazine)" title="If (magazine)">If</a>. In 1969 Guinn sold Galaxy to Universal Publishing and Distribution Corporation (UPD) and Pohl resigned, to be replaced by <a href="/wiki/Ejler_Jakobsson" title="Ejler Jakobsson">Ejler Jakobsson</a>. Under Jakobsson the magazine declined in quality. It recovered under <a href="/wiki/James_Baen" class="mw-redirect" title="James Baen">James Baen</a>, who took over in mid-1974, but when he left at the end of 1977 the deterioration resumed, and there were financial problems—writers were not paid on time and the schedule became erratic. By the end of the 1970s, the gaps between issues were lengthening, and the title was finally sold to <a href="/wiki/Galileo_(magazine)" title="Galileo (magazine)">Galileo</a> publisher Vincent McCaffrey, who brought out only a single issue in 1980. A brief revival as a semi-professional magazine followed in 1994, edited by H. L. Gold's son, <a href="/w/index.php?title=E._J._Gold&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="E. J. Gold (page does not exist)">E. J. Gold</a>; this lasted for eight bimonthly issues. At its peak, Galaxy greatly influenced the science fiction genre. It was regarded as one of the leading science fiction magazines almost from the start, and its influence did not wane until Pohl's departure in 1969. Gold brought a "sophisticated intellectual subtlety" to magazine science fiction according to Pohl, who added that "after Galaxy it was impossible to go on being naive."<a href="#cite_note-G30_xii-2">[2]</a> SF historian <a href="/wiki/David_Kyle" title="David Kyle">David Kyle</a> commented that "of all the editors in and out of the post-war scene, the most influential beyond any doubt was H.

Gold's art director, Washington Irving van der Poel, mocked up multiple layouts and Gold invited hundreds of writers, editors, artists, and fans to view them and vote for their favorite; the vote was strongly for Galaxy as the title.<a href="#cite_note-G30_4-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-14">[notes 1]</a> For the first issue, Gold obtained stories by several well-known authors, including <a href="/wiki/Isaac_Asimov" title="Isaac Asimov">Isaac Asimov</a>, <a href="/wiki/Fritz_Leiber" title="Fritz Leiber">Fritz Leiber</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Theodore_Sturgeon" title="Theodore Sturgeon">Theodore Sturgeon</a>, as well as part one of Time Quarry by <a href="/wiki/Clifford_D._Simak" title="Clifford D.

Gold sought to implement high-quality printing techniques, though the quality of the available paper was insufficient for the full benefits to be seen.<a href="#cite_note-TA_290-309-8">[8]</a> Within months, the outbreak of the Korean War led to paper shortages that forced Gold to find a new printer, Robert M. Guinn. The new paper was of even lower quality, a disappointment to Gold.<a href="#cite_note-16">[notes 2]</a><a href="#cite_note-WWTTOL_150-15">[14]</a> According to Gold, the magazine was profitable within five issues: an "incredible" achievement, in his words.<a href="#cite_note-G30_5-17">[15]</a> In the summer of 1951, disagreements within World Editions led to attempts to disrupt Galaxy's distribution.<a href="#cite_note-TM_32-18">[16]</a> According to Gold, the circulation director and the head of the American office stockpiled many issues instead of distributing them, and made sure that the ones that did get distributed went to areas of the United States, such as the South, where there was little or no audience for the magazine.<a href="#cite_note-20">[notes 3]</a> The head of the French office of World Editions came to the United States to find out what the problem was, and recommended that the magazine be sold to the two Americans, for $3,000—a very low price. They tried to recruit Gold, but he contacted the Italian office, which rejected the sale and eventually agreed to sell Galaxy to the printer, Robert M. Guinn. It was only after the sale was complete that the sabotaged distribution came to light; World Editions wanted to buy back the magazine, but Guinn quoted a price four times as high as he had paid. In Gold's words, "he, Guinn, knew what he was buying, whereas World Editions hadn't known what they were selling".<a href="#cite_note-WWTTOL_151-21">[18]</a> Guinn's new company was named Galaxy Publishing Corporation, and it took over beginning with the October 1951 issue. Gold remained as editor, but lost the assistance of staff at World Editions, relying instead on help from <a href="/wiki/Jerome_Bixby" title="Jerome Bixby">Jerome Bixby</a>, <a href="/wiki/Algis_Budrys" title="Algis Budrys">Algis Budrys</a>, <a href="/wiki/Theodore_Sturgeon" title="Theodore Sturgeon">Theodore Sturgeon</a>, and Gold's wife, Evelyn Paige. Science fiction author <a href="/wiki/Frederik_Pohl" title="Frederik Pohl">Frederik Pohl</a>, then working as a literary agent, was also helpful in connecting writers with Gold.<a href="#cite_note-TM_32-18">[16]</a> By the late 1950s, the science fiction magazine boom was over, and the relatively low circulation of the magazines did not endear them to distributors, the middlemen who transported magazines from the publishers to the newsstands and other outlets. Gold changed the title from Galaxy Science Fiction to Galaxy Magazine with the September 1958 issue, commenting that the term science fiction "scares many people away from buying". Galaxy's circulation, at about 90,000, was the highest of the science fiction magazines, but Guinn decided to cut costs, and in 1959 raised the cover price and changed the magazine to a bimonthly schedule, while increasing the page count. Guinn also cut the rates paid to authors from three (and occasionally four) cents a word to one and a half cents a word. These changes saved Galaxy over $12,000 a year. The result was a fall in circulation to about 80,000 within two years, but this was sustainable because of the savings from the fiction budget.<a href="#cite_note-TM_198-200-22">[19]</a><a href="#cite_note-24">[notes 4]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1960s">1960s</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Galaxy_Science_Fiction&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: 1960s">edit</a>]</div> <table class="wikitable" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin-left: 2em; text-align: center; float: right"> <tbody><tr> <th></th> <th>Jan</th> <th>Feb</th> <th>Mar</th> <th>Apr</th> <th>May</th> <th>Jun</th> <th>Jul</th> <th>Aug</th> <th>Sep</th> <th>Oct</th> <th>Nov</th> <th>Dec </th></tr> <tr> <th>1960 </th> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ccffff">18/3</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ccffff">18/4</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ccffff">18/5</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ccffff">18/6</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ccffff">19/1</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ccffff">19/2 </td></tr> <tr> <th>1961 </th> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ccffff">19/3</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ccffff">19/4</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ccffff">19/5</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ccffff">19/6</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ccffff">20/1</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">20/2 </td></tr> <tr> <th>1962 </th> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">20/3</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">20/4</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">20/5</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">20/6</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">21/1</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">21/2 </td></tr> <tr> <th>1963 </th> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">21/3</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">21/4</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">21/5</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">21/6</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">22/1</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">22/2 </td></tr> <tr> <th>1964 </th> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">22/3</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">22/4</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">22/5</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">22/6</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">23/1</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">23/2 </td></tr> <tr> <th>1965 </th> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">23/3</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">23/4</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">23/5</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">23/6</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">24/1</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">24/2 </td></tr> <tr> <th>1966 </th> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">24/3</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">24/4</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">24/5</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">24/6</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">25/1</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">25/2 </td></tr> <tr> <th>1967 </th> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">25/3</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">25/4</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">25/5</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">25/6</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">26/1</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">26/2 </td></tr> <tr> <th>1968 </th> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">26/3</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">26/4</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">26/5</td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">26/6</td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">27/1</td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">27/2</td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">27/3</td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">27/4</td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">27/5 </td></tr> <tr> <th>1969 </th> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">27/6</td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">28/1</td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">28/2</td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">28/3</td> <td bgcolor="#ffff99">28/4</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">28/5</td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">128/6</td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">129/1</td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">129/2</td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">129/3</td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">29/4 </td></tr> <tr> <td colspan="13" style="font-size: 8pt; text-align:left">Issues of Galaxy from 1960 to 1969, showing volume/issue number.

Difficulties with distribution also cut into income, and Arnold Abramson, UPD's owner, decided to cut costs and maximize profits. Galaxy went bimonthly in August 1970, ending a two-year spell of monthly scheduling (though a couple of months had been missed). The page count, which had been cut from 196 to 160 when UPD bought it, was increased again, and the price was raised from 60 cents to 75 cents. A British edition began in May 1972, published by Tandem Books, which was owned by UPD. The net effect of all these changes was a substantial increase in profitability. Circulation in 1972 also rose by about 6,000 issues, though it is possible that this was solely due to the new British edition.<a href="#cite_note-GF_54-56-37">[32]</a> <table class="wikitable" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 11pt; margin-right: 2em; text-align: center; float: left"> <tbody><tr> <th></th> <th>Jan</th> <th>Feb</th> <th>Mar</th> <th>Apr</th> <th>May</th> <th>Jun</th> <th>Jul</th> <th>Aug</th> <th>Sep</th> <th>Oct</th> <th>Nov</th> <th>Dec </th></tr> <tr> <th>1970 </th> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">29/5</td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">29/6</td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">30/1</td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">30/2</td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">30/3</td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">30/4</td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">30/5</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">30/6</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">31/1 </td></tr> <tr> <th>1971 </th> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">31/2</td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">31/3</td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">31/4</td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">31/5</td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">31/6</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">32/1</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">32/2</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">32/3</td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <th>1972 </th> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">32/4</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">32/5</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">32/6</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">33/1</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">33/2</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">33/3</td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <th>1973 </th> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">33/4</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">33/5</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">33/6</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">34/7</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">34/8</td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">34/1</td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">34/2</td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">34/3 </td></tr> <tr> <th>1974 </th> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">34/4</td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">34/5</td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">34/6</td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">34/7</td> <td bgcolor="#ccc0d0">35/5</td> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">35/6</td> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">35/7</td> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">35/8</td> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">35/9</td> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">35/10</td> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">35/11</td> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">35/12 </td></tr> <tr> <th>1975 </th> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">36/1</td> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">36/2</td> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">36/3</td> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">36/4</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">36/5</td> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">36/6</td> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">36/7</td> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">36/8</td> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">36/9</td> <td></td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <th>1976 </th> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">37/1</td> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">37/2</td> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">37/3</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">37/4</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">37/5</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">37/6</td> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">37/7</td> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">37/8</td> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">37/9 </td></tr> <tr> <th>1977 </th> <td></td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">38/1</td> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">38/2</td> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">38/3</td> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">38/4</td> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">38/5</td> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">38/6</td> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">38/7</td> <td bgcolor="#c2d69a">38/8</td> <td bgcolor="#fac090">38/9</td> <td bgcolor="#fac090">39/1 </td></tr> <tr> <th>1978 </th> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#fac090">39/2</td> <td bgcolor="#fac090">39/3</td> <td bgcolor="#fac090">39/4</td> <td bgcolor="#fac090">39/5</td> <td bgcolor="#fac090">39/6</td> <td></td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#fac090">39/7</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#fac090">39/8</td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <th>1979 </th> <td></td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#fac090">39/9</td> <td></td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#d8d8d8">39/10</td> <td></td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#d8d8d8">39/11</td> <td></td> <td></td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <th>1980 </th> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#e6b9b8">40/1</td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <td style="line-height: 0pt;" colspan="13" bgcolor="#000000"> </td></tr> <tr> <th>1994 </th> <td bgcolor="#92d050">1/1</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#92d050">1/2</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#92d050">1/3</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#92d050">1/4</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#92d050">1/5</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#92d050">1/6</td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <th>1995 </th> <td bgcolor="#92d050">2/1</td> <td></td> <td bgcolor="#92d050">2/2</td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <td colspan="13" style="font-size: 8pt; text-align:left">Issues of Galaxy from 1970 to the last issue, including the revival in 1994, showing volume/issue number; the apparent errors at July and September 1973, and the odd numbering of volume 35, are in fact correctly shown.

He resigned less than a year later, citing overwork and other issues, and was replaced by <a href="/wiki/James_Baen" class="mw-redirect" title="James Baen">James Baen</a>, who took over with the June 1974 issue after Pohl declined the post.<a href="#cite_note-GF_56-59-38">[33]</a> Baen also took over the editorship of If, but rising paper costs forced the closure of If at the end of 1974, and the title was merged with Galaxy.<a href="#cite_note-GF_59-62-39">[34]</a> The magazine had returned to a monthly schedule in September 1973, but it was only patchily adhered to, with at least a couple of issues missed every year except 1974. Baen was successful at increasing circulation again, bringing it from 47,789 when he took over to 81,035 when he left. The magazine was profitable for UPD, but the financial pressure on the parent company took its toll and Baen left in late 1977 to work for <a href="/wiki/Ace_Books" title="Ace Books">Ace Books</a>—the October issue was his last.<a href="#cite_note-TA_290-309-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-GF_68-69-40">[35]</a> Baen was replaced by John J. Pierce, but the situation only worsened. Pierce resigned within a year: the company was in increasing debt, and his office assistant recalls that the office appeared inefficiently run, though he commented that Pierce "clearly loved what he did and knew what he was talking about". Pierce's replacement was <a href="/wiki/Hank_Stine" class="mw-redirect" title="Hank Stine">Hank Stine</a>, who took over in late 1978, though because of Galaxy's irregular schedule Pierce's last issue was March–April 1979. Stine managed to produce only two more issues, June–July 1979 and September–October 1979, before UPD's financial problems spelled the end. Rights to the title were transferred to a new company, Galaxy Magazine, Inc., owned by Vincent McCaffrey, proprietor of Avenue Victor Hugo, a second-hand book store in Boston; UPD retained a ten percent interest in order to receive income from future sales to pay off their debts. Stine had compiled two more issues, but neither ever appeared; McCaffrey, who had also launched a separate magazine, Galileo, had cash-flow problems that prevented him from distributing the magazine as he had planned. One more issue did finally appear from McCaffrey, in July 1980, in a large format; it was edited by Floyd Kemske. A subsequent issue, to be dated October 1980, was assembled, but never distributed.<a href="#cite_note-GF_309-41">[36]</a><a href="#cite_note-GF_317-322-42">[37]</a> The last few years of Galaxy's life were marked by stories of unpaid contributors. <a href="/wiki/John_Varley_(author)" title="John Varley (author)">John Varley</a>, for example, reported that he was still owed money for his stories five years after they appeared. Submissions from well-known writers fell away, and the lack of financial support from UPD meant that the pay rate was an unattractive one cent per word. Higher postal rates, higher paper costs, and continuing competition from the paperback science fiction market all added to the pressure on Galaxy. These problems were not resolved by the sale to McCaffrey, who did not even have enough money to pay for circulation postage, with the result that not every Galaxy subscriber received a copy of the final issue.<a href="#cite_note-TA_290-309-8">[8]</a> Frederik Pohl places the blame for Galaxy's demise on Arnie Abramson, who, Pohl contends, "simply did not perform [the] basic functions of a publisher": paying the authors, ensuring subscribers received copies, and meeting other obligations.<a href="#cite_note-GDLY_xv-43">[38]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Relaunches_of_the_magazine">Relaunches of the magazine</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Galaxy_Science_Fiction&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Relaunches of the magazine">edit</a>]</div> In 1994, the magazine reappeared briefly as a semi-professional publication under the editorship of <a href="/w/index.php?title=E._J._Gold&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="E.

Regular contributors in the 1960s included <a href="/wiki/Jack_Vance" title="Jack Vance">Jack Vance</a>, <a href="/wiki/Larry_Niven" title="Larry Niven">Larry Niven</a>, <a href="/wiki/Frank_Herbert" title="Frank Herbert">Frank Herbert</a>, <a href="/wiki/Robert_Silverberg" title="Robert Silverberg">Robert Silverberg</a>, and Cordwainer Smith. Galaxy stories from this era that won awards include Vance's The Dragon Masters and "The Last Castle"; Clifford Simak's Way Station, serialized as Here Gather the Stars; <a href="/wiki/Harlan_Ellison" title="Harlan Ellison">Harlan Ellison</a>'s "'Repent, Harlequin,' Said the Ticktockman" and "The Beast That Shouted Love at the Heart of the World"; and Silverberg's "Nightwings". Pohl never succeeded in winning a Hugo Award as editor of Galaxy, although he won the award three consecutive times from 1966 to 1968 as editor of <a href="/wiki/If_(magazine)" title="If (magazine)">If</a>, Galaxy's sister magazine, and in theory the junior of the two publications.<a href="#cite_note-Nicholls_462-48">[43]</a><a href="#cite_note-TA_299-94">[83]</a> The quality of fiction in Galaxy had dipped towards the end of Gold's editorship, and Pohl worked hard to restore the magazine's high standards. Gold's difficult editorial personality had driven away some of his contributors, but Pohl, who had worked as an agent in the 1950s, was a central figure in the sf community and was able to attract submissions from the star writers of his day.<a href="#cite_note-TA_299-94">[83]</a> In the case of one of these stars, he offered an unusual arrangement: Robert Silverberg could write whatever he wished and Pohl promised that he would almost invariably buy it. Silverberg, who had been a high-volume producer of competent but unremarkable science fiction, began writing more ambitious work as a result, much of which was published in Galaxy throughout the 1960s.<a href="#cite_note-HC_28-95">[84]</a> In February 1965, Pohl brought in Algis Budrys as book reviewer, after a year in which no review column had appeared. Budrys's insightful reviews drew much praise, and editor David Hartwell has ranked him as one of the best sf critics of his generation.<a href="#cite_note-TA_298-96">[85]</a><a href="#cite_note-Nicholls_170-97">[86]</a><a href="#cite_note-Hartwell_245-98">[87]</a><a href="#cite_note-99">[notes 12]</a> The difference between Pohl's approach and Gold's was apparent in the editorials Pohl wrote, which were informal, entertaining, and rooted in his deep familiarity with the genre.<a href="#cite_note-TA_300-100">[88]</a> With Pohl at the helm, Galaxy moved back toward the knowledgeable <a href="/wiki/Science_fiction_fandom" title="Science fiction fandom">science fiction fan</a>, and away from the mainstream market that Gold had targeted.<a href="#cite_note-TA_301-101">[89]</a> Pohl said that he tried to "cover the full spectrum of science fiction", however, unlike Gold's "specialist magazine" of the 1950s; his Galaxy published both Sheckley's "Mindswap" and Herbert's "<a href="/wiki/Do_I_Wake_or_Dream%3F" class="mw-redirect" title="Do I Wake or Dream?">Do I Wake or Dream?</a>" when Gold would not have purchased the latter, Pohl said.<a href="#cite_note-pohl196508-102">[90]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1970s">1970s</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Galaxy_Science_Fiction&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: 1970s">edit</a>]</div> Ejler Jakobsson's tenure began with a large backlog of stories that Pohl had acquired, but within a year or two substantial changes were apparent.<a href="#cite_note-TA_301-101">[89]</a> In the early 1970s, Jakobsson attempted to update Galaxy's image, adding a comic strip, "Sunpot", by <a href="/wiki/Vaughn_Bod%C3%A9" class="mw-redirect" title="Vaughn Bodé">Vaughn Bodé</a>, for example.<a href="#cite_note-Nicholls_462-48">[43]</a> Theodore Sturgeon took over from Budrys as the regular book reviewer in January 1972 and held the post until mid-1975.<a href="#cite_note-TA_302-103">[91]</a> Jakobsson did not manage to give Galaxy a new and distinctive character: "Sunpot" lasted only four issues, Sturgeon's reviews were undistinguished, and many of the new authors he published have been, in the words of Mike Ashley, "mercifully unknown ever since".<a href="#cite_note-Nicholls_462-48">[43]</a><a href="#cite_note-TA_302-103">[91]</a> The paper quality and printing quality also dropped, and early cover designs were very weak. Jakobsson initially printed guest editorials rather than writing his own; when he took over the editorial page his work was unremarkable. He managed to attract some of the new writers who were becoming well known in the sf scene, including <a href="/wiki/George_R.R._Martin" class="mw-redirect" title="George R.R. Martin">George R.R. Martin</a>, <a href="/wiki/Joe_Haldeman" title="Joe Haldeman">Joe Haldeman</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Joanna_Russ" title="Joanna Russ">Joanna Russ</a>.

Clarke">Arthur C. Clarke</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Rendezvous_with_Rama" title="Rendezvous with Rama">Rendezvous with Rama</a> each won both the Hugo and Nebula awards, in 1972 and 1973 respectively, and Robert Silverberg's <a href="/wiki/A_Time_of_Changes" title="A Time of Changes">A Time of Changes</a> won the Nebula in 1971. Sturgeon's short story "<a href="/wiki/Slow_Sculpture" title="Slow Sculpture">Slow Sculpture</a>" won both the Hugo and the Nebula in 1970.<a href="#cite_note-TA_302-103">[91]</a> A letter column was added at the end of 1971; this was the first time Galaxy had published reader's letters. Galaxy's long-time science columnist, Willy Ley, died in 1969, and was replaced by <a href="/wiki/Donald_Menzel" class="mw-redirect" title="Donald Menzel">Donald Menzel</a>. He was replaced in turn by <a href="/wiki/Jerry_Pournelle" title="Jerry Pournelle">Jerry Pournelle</a> in April 1974.<a href="#cite_note-TA_302-3-104">[92]</a> Jakobsson's successor, James Baen, was able to publish some high-quality fiction, including material by <a href="/wiki/Roger_Zelazny" title="Roger Zelazny">Roger Zelazny</a>, John Varley, Larry Niven, and Pohl, whose novel, Gateway, won both the Hugo and Nebula awards.<a href="#cite_note-Nicholls_462-48">[43]</a> Baen raised the level of the magazine substantially, and Ashley refers to his editorship as Galaxy's "Indian summer".<a href="#cite_note-TA_304-105">[93]</a> Under Baen the review columnist was <a href="/wiki/Spider_Robinson" title="Spider Robinson">Spider Robinson</a>, who won a <a href="/wiki/Locus_Award" title="Locus Award">Locus Award</a> in 1977, primarily for his work in Galaxy.<a href="#cite_note-Nicholls_462-48">[43]</a> Baen also published a series of essays by authors discussing their own work. Apart from Gateway, Baen published only one award-winning story: <a href="/wiki/Ursula_K._Le_Guin" title="Ursula K. Le Guin">Ursula K. Le Guin</a>'s "The Day Before the Revolution", which appeared in August 1974 and won the Nebula.<a href="#cite_note-TA_304-105">[93]</a> Baen's successors, Pierce, Stine, and Kemske, were unable to maintain his standard. Pohl remained loyal to the magazine, but the serialization of his novel Jem exemplified Galaxy's growing problems. Due to the magazine's increasingly erratic schedule, the serialization stretched from the last issue of 1978 into 1980, well after it had appeared in book form.<a href="#cite_note-Nicholls_462-48">[43]</a> In November 1977, Paul Walker took over the book column from Spider Robinson, and Jerry Pournelle left the science column at the end of 1978.<a href="#cite_note-issues-19">[17]</a> The artwork quality dropped to an amateurish level, and despite the appearance of a few successful stories and novels, such as <a href="/wiki/C._J._Cherryh" title="C. J. Cherryh">C. J. Cherryh</a>'s The Faded Sun: Kesrith, the overall quality was dramatically worse than it had been under Baen.<a href="#cite_note-TA_305-106">[94]</a> Galaxy's deterioration was largely due to the financial troubles of the publisher, Arnold Abramson, who reduced the pay rate (at a time of high inflation) to a penny a word. Even that low rate did not guarantee timely disbursement, and many writers stopped submitting because of Galaxy's reputation for paying slowly, if at all. Costs were increasing for paper, postage, and production, and the paperback anthology market was booming, adding to the competition that Galaxy faced.<a href="#cite_note-TA_305-106">[94]</a> Floyd Kemske's only issue never received newsstand distribution, doomed by the financial troubles of the magazine's publisher, Vincent McCaffrey.<a href="#cite_note-TA_306-107">[95]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Cover_layout_and_artwork">Cover layout and artwork</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Galaxy_Science_Fiction&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Cover layout and artwork">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Galaxy_cover_layouts.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1b/Galaxy_cover_layouts.jpg/220px-Galaxy_cover_layouts.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="253" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/1b/Galaxy_cover_layouts.jpg 1.5x" data-file-width="294" data-file-height="338" /></a><figcaption>Nine issues of Galaxy, showing the major variations in cover design over the magazine's lifetime</figcaption></figure>Galaxy had a characteristic cover style in the 1950s with an inverted white "L" shape (Greek gamma) framing the cover art; this style was copied by several magazines, including <a href="/wiki/Authentic_Science_Fiction" title="Authentic Science Fiction">Authentic Science Fiction</a> and <a href="/wiki/Startling_Stories" title="Startling Stories">Startling Stories</a>.<a href="#cite_note-108">[notes 13]</a><a href="#cite_note-TM_32-3-68">[60]</a> When Astounding followed suit in late 1951, Gold commented sarcastically in an editorial that Galaxy "would like to know when we may have it [the format] back again".<a href="#cite_note-GDLY_33-109">[96]</a> The first variation came with the September 1956 issue, which widened the left hand strip of white to allow room to print story titles and author names. The December 1961 issue was the first to eliminate the strip on the left, and until July 1969 the magazine varied between this layout, the inverted "L", and a version with no white at all, first used on the August 1965 issue. Another change visible in that issue is the reversal of the title coloring to white lettering on a block of red; this was used from August 1963 to December 1965. In August 1969 the title was enlarged to fill the width of the magazine; this issue had the white inverted "L", but it was the last one to do so till 1980. After August 1969 the cover paintings spanned the entire cover, though with some minor variations in layout such as can be seen in the October 1976 issue. Then in September 1978 (undated on the cover, but numbered vol. 39 no. 7) the original typeface for "Galaxy" was abandoned for the last few issues. The final issue, edited by Kemske, returned to the previous layout and typeface, although with a magazine twice the size of the original digest. When E. J. Gold revived Galaxy in 1994, he restored the inverted "L" and employed a predominantly black-and-white look for the eight issues he published.<a href="#cite_note-issues-19">[17]</a> Notable artists who contributed regularly to Galaxy included Ed Emshwiller, who won several Hugo Awards for his work,<a href="#cite_note-SFE_595-600-110">[97]</a><a href="#cite_note-TM_31-111">[98]</a> Hugo nominee Wallace Wood,<a href="#cite_note-112">[99]</a> and Jack Gaughan, who won three Hugos in the late 1960s, partly for his work in Galaxy.<a href="#cite_note-GF_36-36">[31]</a> Gaughan was commissioned by Pohl to provide the cover and interior art for Jack Vance's The Dragon Masters in 1962; the resulting illustrations made Gaughan immediately famous in the science fiction field.<a href="#cite_note-IW_182-113">[100]</a> In the 1950s and 1960s, Galaxy retained the original artwork sent in by its artists, though Emshwiller, much of whose best color work appeared there, was able to negotiate an exception to this rule, retaining the art for his portfolios.<a href="#cite_note-Ortiz_42-114">[101]</a><a href="#cite_note-IW_160-115">[102]</a> In 1972 much of this artwork—including both interior and cover illustrations—was sold off by Robert Guinn, who had kept it when he sold Galaxy to UPD in 1969.<a href="#cite_note-Ortiz_42-114">[101]</a><a href="#cite_note-GalJan72-116">[103]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Influence_on_the_field">Influence on the field</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Galaxy_Science_Fiction&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Influence on the field">edit</a>]</div> Isaac Asimov, in his memoirs, recalled being deeply impressed by the first issue of Galaxy, and that many fans, including himself, believed that the magazine became the field's leader almost immediately.<a href="#cite_note-IMYG_602-117">[104]</a> In critic John Clute's assessment, Galaxy indeed swiftly supplanted Astounding and remained the leading magazine in the field until Pohl resigned as editor in 1969.<a href="#cite_note-SFTIE_102-118">[105]</a> Science fiction historian and critic Mike Ashley regarded Galaxy's success as the main reason for the subsequent boom in science fiction magazines,<a href="#cite_note-TM_32-3-68">[60]</a> commenting that it "revolutionized the field overnight".<a href="#cite_note-TM_24-49">[44]</a> Under Gold Galaxy provided a market for social science fiction stories that might not have been accepted by Astounding and Fantasy & Science Fiction, the other leading magazines.<a href="#cite_note-TA_306-107">[95]</a><a href="#cite_note-119">[106]</a> Pohl stated in 1965 that almost every major science fiction writer whose career began after 1950 primarily wrote for Galaxy, and that others closely imitated Gold's magazine.<a href="#cite_note-pohl196508-102">[90]</a> He described Galaxy as where "the stunning new kinds of science fiction ... flowered, and changed everything in science fiction".<a href="#cite_note-G30_xii-2">[2]</a> In his opinion, Gold's innovation was to ask writers to consider not just new technology, but the subsequent impact of that technology on society.

This was in part because the original publisher, World Editions, had a European base, which Gold had planned to take advantage of when the magazine launched. Overseas editions included:<a href="#cite_note-TA_290-309-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-TM_24-49">[44]</a><a href="#cite_note-Tuck_533-124">[111]</a><a href="#cite_note-Tuck_564-567-125">[112]</a> <ul><li>Argentina. Two magazines, Más Allá (June 1953 – June 1957) and Géminis (July 1965 – August 1965), reprinted stories primarily from Galaxy, though they also published some original material and some stories reprinted from other sources.</li> <li>Finland. Aikamme tieteislukemisto (August 1958 – December 1958) was a Finnish edition of Galaxy, edited by Mary A. Wuorio and published by Viikkosanomat Oy.<a href="#cite_note-127">[notes 14]</a></li> <li>France. There were two separate French editions of Galaxy, both titled Galaxie. The first ran from November 1953 to April 1959 (a total of 65 issues), and was published by Editions OPTA, Paris. The first 11 issues were edited by Irina Orloff, the next 16 by Jacqueline Boissy, and the remainder by Jeannine Courtillet. The stories were badly translated, and printed in shortened form. Poor sales led to the cancellation of this version. The second version ran for 158 issues, from May 1964 to August–September 1977, and was also published by Editions OPTA. The editor was <a href="/wiki/Alain_Dor%C3%A9mieux" title="Alain Dorémieux">Alain Dorémieux</a> for the first 67 issues, and Michel Demuth thereafter. This version, which contained original French stories as well as translated material from Galaxy, was much more successful and for a time outsold Fiction, the leading French science fiction magazine. From November 1974, more French authors were included, but publication ceased three years later when sales fell.</li> <li>Germany. Fifteen issues of a German version, titled Galaxis, was released from March 1958 to May 1959 by Moewig Verlag, Munich. The editor was Lothar Heinecke. Fourteen numbered paperbacks titled Galaxy appeared between 1965 and 1970, published by Heyne Verlag, Munich. The editor was <a href="/wiki/Walter_Ernsting" title="Walter Ernsting">Walter Ernsting</a>, with Thomas Schlück as co-editor for the last five issues. The contents were reprints from the American edition.</li> <li>Italy. An Italian reprint edition titled Galaxy ran from June 1958 to May 1964; there were 70 physical issues, with two issues containing double numbers, so that the last issue was numbered 72. The publisher was Editrice Due Mondi, Milan, for the first ten issues; the remaining issues were published by Casa Editrice La Tribuna, Piacenza. The editors were R. Valente (issues 1–26/27), Mario Vitali (28/29–39), and Lella Pollini Rambelli (40–72). The magazine included some stories by Italian authors in addition to translated material.</li> <li>Netherlands. Five issues, titled Galaxis, appeared from October 1966 to February 1967, from Vector, Dordrecht. The editor was Theo Kemp. The translations were of poor quality.</li> <li>Norway. The Norwegian magazine Tempo-Magasinet, published by Greens Forlag, printed translations from US science fiction, mostly from Galaxy. It lasted for five issues, from November 1953 to March 1954. The editor was Arne Ernst.</li> <li>Sweden. A Swedish edition, titled Galaxy, appeared from September 1958 to June 1960 (19 issues); the publisher is unknown, though it is known to be the same company that published the Swedish edition of <a href="/wiki/Mad_(magazine)" title="Mad (magazine)">Mad</a>. This version, which included some original Swedish stories, was edited by Henrik Rabe.</li> <li>UK. Several British editions of Galaxy were produced. From 1953 to 1962 Strato Publications published 94 numbered issues. The early issues were labeled vol. 3 no. 1 to no. 12. With the 13th issue the "vol. 3" was dropped. Until issue 72 (February 1959) they were shortened versions of the US edition, with one or more stories or features being cut.<a href="#cite_note-129">[notes 15]</a> From no. 72 Strato reprinted the full US issue with a different title page, and from issue 80 the US edition was used with a variant cover. In 1967 a British edition appeared from Gold Star Publications; there were five bimonthly issues, identical to the US edition dated six months previously. The British issues were dated January–February 1967 through September–October 1967; the corresponding US issues were June, August, October, and December 1966, and February 1967. <a href="/wiki/Universal-Tandem_Publishing_Co_Ltd" class="mw-redirect" title="Universal-Tandem Publishing Co Ltd">Universal-Tandem Publishing Co Ltd</a> published 25 issues of Galaxy in the UK; the original US issues were May–June 1972 to January 1975. These were re-covered for UK distribution. The numbering was erratic: it ran 1–10, then 11, 11, 12, 12, 12, 14, and finally 17–25.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Other_bibliographic_details">Other bibliographic
