In the 1950s, there was actually two magazines called Science Fiction Adventures.  Neither one of them ran for very long.  The first Science Fiction Adventures lasted for two years, from 1952 to 1954 and it was canceled due to low sales.  The name was then used for another magazine, that ran from 1956 to 1958 and which was also canceled for low sales.  After the second cancellation, publishers got the hint and didn’t use the name again.

Below is a handful of covers from both versions of Science Fiction Adventures.
