In the Beginning

Cover In the Beginning
Genres: Fiction
This was a matter of economics—using one large plate to print four covers at once was much cheaper than printing them one by one. But sometimes the practice created problems.
For example, the April, 1957 cover of Amazing Stories was printed in the fall of 1956 with a group of others, well ahead of its publication date, bearing this announcement above the name of the magazine: BEGINNING—COSMIC KILL—2-part serial of thundering impact “Cosmic Kill” was supposed to be a sequel to a short novel that
... Amazing had published six years before—“Empire of Evil,” by Robert Arnette. The readers had supposedly been clamoring for a follow-up to that great story all that time, and now, finally, it was going to be published.
The trouble was that the actual author behind the “Arnette” pseudonym on “Empire of Evil” was Paul W. Fairman, and Fairman, having recently become the editor of Amazing and Fantastic, suddenly found that he didn’t have time to write a two-part serial of thundering impact.
