Astounding Stories - September 1937 Issue Astounding Stories Volume XX, Number 1 — September 1937 Introduction
The September 1937 issue of Astounding Stories marks an incredibly critical historical milestone in the evolution of science fiction literature. Published by Street & Smith, this particular issue serves as the final edition under the editorial vision of F. Orlin Tremaine. Immediately following this issue, John W. Campbell took over the editorial helm, steering the magazine into what historians call the \"Golden Age of Science Fiction\" and eventually renaming the publication Astounding Science Fiction and later Analog.
