The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction – April, 1952 [Stefan Salter]

Another cover by Stephen Salter.   The magazine went by the title “The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction” from February of 1951 through September of 1952, when it reverted to and remained as “The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction“. 

Though subtle, the “&” symbol in the title was actually the silhouette of a smiling impish face, and also forms the bottom part of the letter “F” in the word “Fantasy“.  (You can see it, below.)  This symbol seems to have been the magazine’s unofficial logo, and was displayed on the back cover (and randomly in the interior) during the 1950s.  (Information from VISCO.)

The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction – Winter-Spring, 1950 [Stefan Salter]

Another cover by Stephen Salter, probably completed using an airbrush.  Disconcerting, intriguing, and fascinating, all at once. 

This was the second issue of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, and the first of ten covers Salter completed for the publication, nine of which appeared from “this” 1950 issue through December of 1951, and the last for June of 1955.
