What does /lit/ think of Sci Fi magazines like Analog or Asimov's? I personally like them a lot. You find cool stuff in there.

>On any given week, Theodore Sturgeon, Arthur C Clarke, Ray Bradbury, Kurt Vonnegut, etc etc

Can modern sci fi anthologies even compare?

When I was a kid, the library in our town gave away a bunch of old books and magazines for free. My father got a bunch of old sci-fi magazines. Those were my favourite reads for a long time. Other than the well-known authors mentioned by >>8365021 , they often featured obscure but good writers.
I remember a quite unsettling short story by an italian writer which was about an adult man who imagined a world under his blanket. I wouldnt be suprised if I found out that it havent been published anywhere else, but it was one of the most effective horror stories I've ever read. (sorry, I cant remember neither the title nor the writers name, and I dont have the magazines with me now)

Given the state of the paper they were published on, 99% of pulps from the 30s-60s must be in very poor shape. Disintegrating into yellow dust. It is conceivable that some work will be lost to time unless there are fastidious digital archivers at work.

Speaking of which, it seems that comprehensive digital scans of things like Weird Tales are either closely guarded or not existing.
