If

Total Issues: 175+1=176

Subtitled "Worlds of Science Fiction" when it started, the "Worlds of" part came and went during the Fifties, often being placed on the cover in a manner that allowed one to misread the full title as "Worlds of If". Robert Guinn seems to have been a bit uncertain of the exact title after he bought it in 1959. The title is given in a variety of ways in the indicia, annual statements of ownership, etc.; it is worth noting, however, that Guinn never thought it was "Worlds of If".

Universal seems to have also been confused about the magazine's title for a while; they finally settled on "Worlds of If" in 1972.

The last issue was a revival as a semi-professional magazine.
