History of US science fiction and fantasy magazines to 1950
The ninth and last new science fiction or fantasy magazine to appear with a 1939 cover date was "Planet Stories", its first issue dated December. The publisher was Fiction House, which had been a successful pulp publisher in the 1920s, though the Depression temporarily closed its doors. After a relaunch in 1934 Fiction House specialized in detective and romance magazines, and "Planet" was published by its Love Romances, Inc. imprint. The editor, Malcolm Reiss, targeted younger readers, and focused solely on interplanetary fiction, though initially the stories were so weak that Ashley speculates Reiss was forced to start the magazine without enough time to acquire worthwhile material.

A Million Little Pieces
The book was released on April 15, 2003, by Doubleday Books, a division of Random House, and received mixed feedback. While some critics, such as Pat Conroy, praised the book, calling it "the "War and Peace" of addiction", others were not as impressed by the gruesome nature of the book and Frey's overall attitude that sets the tone for the book. For example, critic Julian Keeling, a recovering addict, stated that "Frey's stylistic tactics are irritating...none of this makes the reader feel well-disposed towards him". Also, author Heather King said that ""A Million Little Pieces" rings false".
The Infinite Vulcan

Amazing Stories Quarterly
According to Milton Wolf and Mike Ashley, historians of science fiction, over the next two years Sloane published some of the best sf of the early years of the field in "Amazing Stories Quarterly". Wolf and Ashley cite "Paradox", by Charles Cloukey, an early time-travel story; "The Bridge of Light", by A. Hyatt Verrill, a novel about a lost civilization in South America; "The Birth of a New Republic", by Miles J. Breuer and Jack Williamson, in which a man of the 24th century reminisces about a revolt by the inhabitants of the Moon against the Earth; "Paradise and Iron", by Breuer; and "White Lily", by Eric Temple Bell, under the pseudonym John Taine, about a form of crystal life that endangers the planet. After 1931, according to Wolf and Ashley, the fiction in "Amazing Stories Quarterly" became less entertaining. Everett Bleiler, the author of a detailed review of the first ten years of science fiction magazines, is less complimentary, describing John W. Campbell, Jr.'s space operas, which appeared from 1930 to 1932, as "turgid", and commenting that only a dozen or so of the stories in the magazine's entire run "might have been considered worth reading if one could put oneself back in the 1930s, accepting the standards of the time". Bleiler mentions three authors, Coblentz, Taine, and Breuer, as having produced notably original material, but adds that their work was "not strong enough for mainstream fiction" and had "too little action and too much sophistication for pulp". Bleiler does however agree with Wolf and Ashley that the magazine's quality declined over time. Brian Stableford, in the "Science Fiction Encyclopedia", also highlights Coblentz, Taine and Breuer, along with Williamson and Verrill, among the magazine's contributors; Stableford regards their contributions as being among "the most important early pulp sf novels".

The stories originally appeared in the magazines "Wonder Stories", "Astounding" and "Thrilling Wonder Stories"."Time" magazine, using the collection as a springboard for a broader discussion of the sf genre, concluded that "The reader who reads science fiction dispassionately is likely to be struck by how closely the human imagination is tied to reality, even when it deliberately sets out to violate it. Stanley Weinbaum's loonies and slinkers have been seen before. The shapes may be different, but his dream-beasts come startlingly close to what the human race has been running across, for a good many years, in its childish nightmares."
Tales from Planet Earth

Paul Gulacy
With writer Don McGregor, Gulacy created one of the first American modern graphic novels, Eclipse Books' "Sabre: Slow Fade of an Endangered Species". Published in August 1978 — two months before Will Eisner's more famous, graphic short story collection "A Contract with God" — it was the first graphic novel to be sold in the new "direct market" of comic-book stores. Described on the credits page as a "comic novel" (the term "graphic novel" not being in common usage at the time), the trade paperback was priced at a then-considerable $6.00. It helped prove the new format's viability by going into a February 1979 second printing. Eclipse would publish a 10th-anniversary edition (hardcover ; trade paperback ) with a new Gulacy cover. A 20th-anniversary edition was published by Image Comics in 1998, and a 30th anniversary edition by Desperado Publishing in 2009.
Ballantine Books
During the early 1950s, Ballantine attracted attention as one of the leading publishers of paperback science fiction and fantasy, beginning with "The Space Merchants" (#21). The Frederik Pohl and C. M. Kornbluth novel had first appeared in "Galaxy Science Fiction" under the title "Gravy Planet". Kauffman scored when he acquired and edited Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451" (originally in "Galaxy" as a shorter version, "The Firemen").

Lilith Lorraine
Lorraine's feminist utopia novelette, "The Brain of the Planet", was published as a chapbook in 1929. Other stories by Lorraine included "Into the 28th Century" ("Science and Wonder", 1929), a time-travel story featuring artificial wombs, eugenics, inhaled nutrition, hovercraft, and a woman as President of the United States in 1955; "The Jovian Jest" ("Astounding Stories", 1930), "The Celestial Visitor" ("Wonder Stories", 1935), "The Isle of Madness" ("Wonder Stories", 1935), "Books Hold That Line" (1935), "Entropy" ("Orb", 1952), and "Ancestors" ("The Avalonian", 1952). There may be other stories of hers, under unknown pseudonyms. "Three of my pen-names are masculine," she explained to a reporter in 1965, "and if the editors and publishers knew I was a woman they wouldn't pay me more than half what they do now."
Patrick O'Brian
O'Brian published two novels, a collection of stories and several uncollected stories under his original name, Richard Patrick Russ. His first novel, "Caesar: The Life Story of a Panda-Leopard", was written at the age of 12 and published three years later in 1930. It was a critical success, with a recommendation in the "New Statesman" and positive reviews in publications including the "New York Herald Tribune" and the "Saturday Review of Literature". Other stories followed, published in boys' magazines and annuals and incorporating themes of natural history and adventure, and a collection of these and other animal stories was published in 1934 under the title "Beasts Royal", with illustrations by the noted artist Charles Tunnicliffe, illustrator of "Tarka the Otter". "Hussein: An entertainment", set in India, was published in 1938, when he was 23. It was notable for being the first book of contemporary fiction ever published by the Oxford University Press, to whose annuals for boys he had been a regular contributor for some years. O'Brian published very little under his original name of Russ during World War II, and nothing after 1940. His change of surname in 1945 necessarily meant abandoning the literary reputation he had built up as R. P. Russ.
Planetarium (board game)
In 2015, the game won the "Le Plateau d'or", a game design contest presented during "Les journées Ludique de Québec", an annual gaming convention held in Canada.

Simak. In 1952 "Planet Stories" published Philip K. Dick's first sale, and printed four more of his stories over the next three years.

Furthermore, Key was not short on staff at the time, and was not forced to outsource the artwork of "Planetarian". Jun Maeda, Key's main scenario writer and project planner, was left out of the project, and Yūichi Suzumoto was given the position of planning and scenario.
