Unusual Stories    (about) The full story of this magazine’s tangled history is told by Sam Moskowitz in The Immortal Storm. A four-page flyer was issued in 1934, followed by a partial printing of a first issue, mailed in two sections. Publication was temporarily aborted in favor of Marvel Tales, then finally started again in 1935. The 1934 issue was never finished and the uncompleted story by Tooker has never been completely published. Publishers: Fantasy Publications; Everett, PA: Unusual Stories Editors: William L. Crawford - Editor: Unusual Stories.
