Catalogue information
Analog Science Fiction and Fact is an American science fiction magazine, started in 1930 under the name Astounding Stories and renamed Astounding Science-Fiction a few years later. This magazine, first edited by Harry Bates, is widely seen as the platform where modern SF was born. The man responsible for this is John W. Campbell, who became an editor in 1937. He renamed the magazine Astounding Science-Fiction. Astounding became the undisputed leader among SF magazines. In 1960 Campbell changed its name to Analog Science Fiction and Science Fact, to better reflect the nature of the magazine. The name is often shortened to ASF, which can stand for all titles. Ben Bova took over the editorial position in 1971, when Campbell died suddenly and was himself succeeded by Stanley Schmidt in 1978.
