Biographical / Historical

Weird Science-Fantasy was begun in 1954 as the merger between periodicals Weird Science and Weird Fantasy, which were under EC Comics. Neither of the prior two magazines sold well, and so they were merged in the hope of raising sales. This was not the case, and the cost of the magazine was lowered after the first two issues were published. Later, the publication frequency was also decreased to bi-monthly. Weird Science-Fantasy was renamed to Incredible Science Fiction, which published four issues before ceasing publication in 1956.

Arrangement

There is only one issue, so the material doesn't require arrangment.
