"Science Fiction" magazine, 1958 - Four Issues, Full Set
"Science Fiction", a bi-weekly, published in 1958. Only four issues were published. Science Fiction Publishing, Shela Distribution. No date. 36 pages per issue.
Each issue featured a title page in red and yellow with a black and white illustration, and between one and three stories per issue. Issues 2 and 3 also feature a full page illustration.
Cover illustrations were reprinted from American science fiction stories or films of the time. The cover of issue no. 1 featured a scene from the 1956 film Forbidden Planet, while the cover of issue no. 3 featured a scene from the 1958 film The Colossus of New York. No connection between the covers and stories published in the magazine.
Some of the stories were published without credit to the author. The only famous author credited was Isaac Asimov, for the short story "The Independent Robot", issue no. 4, probably a translation of the 1942 story "Robot AL-76 Goes Astray". This might well be the first Asimov story ever published in Hebrew. Other authors mentioned are possible pseudonyms, or maybe Israeli writers who adopted English names as was common at the time: Gordon Clay, George Collins and Herbert Mitchel (with credit to the translator, G. Levin).
Condition: issues are bound in a leather-like brown binding. Several include names of former owners on cover, first or last page, as well as other scribbles. Some of these were erased using a white correction fluid. Other than that, very good condition.
