The first issue of Hanging Loose magazine was published in 1966. The editors are proud of having published many first books, including the first full collections by Sherman Alexie, Kimiko Hahn. The name was inspired by the format -- mimeographed loose pages in a cover envelope -- and that, in turn, was inspired by a very low budget. But the format was also meant to get across a point of view: that poetry is for now, not for the Ages. If you liked a poem, you could pin it to the wall. If you didn't like a poem, you could use it as a napkin. Circulation 2,000.

Seemingly published a single Hank Janson story in each issue.

A general interest magazine which includes a few stories per issue plus many other features. Circulation 1,500.

Offbeat quarterly.

Called itself "a weekly journal of instruction and recreation."

Subtitled "To Amuse, Entertain, and Instruct"

Subtitled "A Magazine for Children".

The chief home of Richmal Crompton's "William" stories for nearly 18 years: there was an episode in almost every issue, and William frequently appeared on the cover (illustrated by Thomas Henry Thomas Henry Fisher). Primarily a magazine of humour for all the family, The Happy Mag. also published Edgar Wallace and others.

Published 216 issues, plus 13 Christmas specials and 7 Summer Holiday specials.
