Analog Science Fiction and Fact is an American science fiction magazine,
first published in 1930 as Astounding Stories of Super-Science. After F.
Orlin Tremaine was hired as editor in 1933, it became the leading
magazine in the nascent pulp science fiction field, with well-regarded
stories such as Jack Williamson's Legion of Space and "Twilight" by John
W. Campbell. Campbell took over editorial duties from 1937 to 1971,
running many stories that became classics in the field, including Isaac
Asimov's Foundation series, A. E. van Vogt's Slan, and novels and
stories by Robert A. Heinlein. By 1950, Astounding was no longer
regarded as the leader in the field, though it did continue to publish
popular and influential stories, including Hal Clement's novel Mission
of Gravity (1953) and Tom Godwin's "The Cold Equations" (1954). Ben Bova
took over as editor from 1972 to 1978, winning five consecutive Hugo
Awards. Trevor Quachri currently edits the magazine for Crosstown
Publications.
