Fantastic was a magazine that featured stories of fantasy, horror, and science fiction. It ran from 1952 to 1980, outlasting the majority of its competition and spinning off several other “Fantastic” magazines. Eventually, after sells started to slow down in the 70s, Fantastic merged with Amazing Stories. Today, issues of Fantastic are highly sought after by collectors, both for their stories and their covers.
