It is known that Ray Palmer was the editor/publisher from the beginning. It is not certain if Robert N. Webster was a pseudonym or a real person acting as a "front" for Palmer. Webster continued to be listed on the masthead of a companion magazine, Fate, into the late 1950's. This title was discontinued in 1953 and replaced by Science Stories when Palmer changed distributors.

The second series was treated as a continuation of Universe SF, thereafter merged with Flying Saucers (non-fiction magazine).

Men's magazine which, in the 1970's at least, "publishes one fiction piece per month-sometimes, but rarely, two".

In June 1981 Playboy Enterprises sold the magazine to Laurant Publishing Ltd. in New York. The new president and chief operating officer was Irwin E. Billman, former executive vice president and chief operating officer of the Penthouse Group. Initially, Laurant Publishing Ltd. featured celebrity nudity, peaking in 1982 with pictorials of Linda Blair, Demi Moore and Pia Zadora. The magazine has since experienced a significant decline in circulation.

The magazine went hardcore, along with many of its competitors, in the early 2000s, featuring couples photosets with penetration.

"In No.12 the paper announced that they had opened a new clothing shop called "Our Boys" at 149 Newington Causeway, London S.E., with branches at Holborn Viaduct and Kings Cross, in which boys could buy clothing 20% cheaper than anywhere else, because it had come straight from the manufacturer. Velvet suits, sailor suits, Eton suits, Norfolk suits, were amongst the many advertised."

Not a story paper, just two printed pages in which the Editor gave a long-winded talk about how they hoped boys would buy his paper which would contain real manly stories and first class articles for intelligent boys. No such magazine was forthcoming.
