Comet (magazine) (original) (raw)
Comet was a pulp magazine which published five issues from December 1940 to July 1941. It was edited by F. Orlin Tremaine, who had edited Astounding Stories, one of the leaders of the science fiction magazine field, for several years in the mid-1930s. Tremaine paid one cent per word, which was higher than some of the competing magazines, but the publisher, based in Springfield, MA, was unable to sustain the magazine while it gained circulation, and it was cancelled after less than a year when Tremaine resigned. Comet published fiction by several well-known and popular writers, including E.E. Smith and Robert Moore Williams. The young Isaac Asimov, visiting Tremaine in Comet's offices, was alarmed when Tremaine asserted that anyone who gave stories to competing magazines for no pay should

| dbo:abstract | Comet fue una revista estadounidense de ciencia ficción con formato de encuadernación en rústica publicada en 1940. Fue editada por F. Orlin Tremaine, un escritor especializado en revistas de ciencia ficción que previamente había colaborado en Analog Science Fiction and Fact durante los años 1930. Pese a la experiencia de Tremaine en el medio, la casa editorial H-K Publications canceló su producción menos de un año después del primer volumen; el quinto y último compilatorio fue publicado en julio de 1941 y contiene once historietas. La publicación de Comet comprendió un período de siete meses durante los cuales llegó a contar con cinco volúmenes: el primero apareció en el mes de diciembre de 1940. Cada volumen costaba originalmente 20 centavos de dólar, y relataba varias historias de ciencia ficción enfocadas en temas sobre naves espaciales, planetas, el espacio exterior y todo lo relacionado con la astronomía y las ciencias planetarias. Algunos de los volúmenes fueron redactados por escritores notables entre los cuales se incluyen E. E. Smith y Robert Moore Williams.

The young Isaac Asimov, visiting Tremaine in Comet's offices, was alarmed when Tremaine asserted that anyone who gave stories to competing magazines for no pay should be blacklisted; Asimov promptly insisted that Donald Wollheim, to whom he had given a free story, should make him a token payment so he could say he had been paid.
