Perhaps this is common knowledge hereabouts but there are many early issues of Amazing Stories digitised over at [archive.org](https://archive.org/search.php?query=mediatype%3Atexts%20AND%20collection%3Aopensource%20AND%20subject%3A%22Amazing%20Stories%22). I had only ever seen covers before and stories in reprint, it’s great to flick through the old magazines. They’re worth looking at for the ads alone.

Wow. They’ve got the first issue posted. Talk about a really rare part of science fiction history.

I thought this was going to be about the TV show.

Those look like a lot of fun to read. I’ll take a closer look tonight.

Thanks.
