Imagination (about)

William Hamling has stated that he was the editor & publisher from the beginning. The first 2 issues were published while Hamling was still employed at Ziff-Davis so Ray Palmer acted as a “front” and those issues give Palmer’s company as the publisher. They do not, however, list an editor, allowing readers to assume that it was Palmer.

Publishers: Clark Publishing Co.; Evanston, IL, Oct 1950 – Dec 1950; Greenleaf Publishing Co.; Evanston, IL, Feb 1951 – Oct 1958.
