The All-Story Magazine




From Wikipedia:

All-Story Magazine was a pulp magazine published by Munsey Company. It was first published in January 1905 as The All-Story Magazine and it ran monthly until March 1914. It then changed to a weekly publication schedule and the title was changed to All-Story Weekly1


From the start, The All-Story Weekly carried science fiction, fantasy and adventure stories. It was the most important market for these stories throughout the "golden age" of science fiction.  H.G. Wells and Ray Bradbury were among several famous contributors.

The magazine was best known for discovering a talented young writer named Edgar Rice Burroughs and publishing his first Tarzan stories. In 2006, a copy of the October 1912 issue of The All-Story, featuring the first appearance of the character Tarzan in any medium, sold for $59,750 in an auction held by Heritage Auctions of Dallas.[4]


The Argosy absorbed All-Story Weekly in 1920, and continued as The Argosy All-Story Weekly for years afterwards.  The magazine ceased publication in October 19551.
