  • Imaginative Tales was an American fantasy and science fiction magazine launched in September 1954 by William Hamling's Greenleaf Publishing Company. It was created as a sister magazine to Imagination, which Hamling had acquired from Raymond A. Palmer's Clark Publishing. Imaginative Tales began as a vehicle for novel-length humorous fantasy, early issues featuring stories by Charles F. Myers and Robert Bloch. After a year, Hamling switched the focus to science fiction and it became similar in content to Imagination, publishing routine space operas. In 1958, with public interest in space high, Hamling changed the title to Space Travel, but there was little effect on sales. Magazine circulation was suffering because of the rise of the paperback, and the liquidation in 1957 of American News Company, a major magazine distributor, made it even harder for small magazines to survive. Hamling eventually ceased publication of both Imaginative Tales and Imagination in 1958, preferring to invest the money in Rogue, a men's magazine he had started in imitation of Playboy in 1955. (en)
  • Imaginative Tales fue una revista estadounidense de ciencia ficción y fantasía lanzada en septiembre de 1954 por Greenleaf Publishing Company, editorial propiedad de William Hamling. Se creó como una revista complementaria de Imagination, que Hamling había comprado a la editorial Clark Publishing de Raymond A. Palmer. La revista nació como un medio para la publicación de novelas de fantasía humorística y los primeros números incluían relatos de autores como Charles F. Myers o Robert Bloch. Al cabo de un año, Hamling cambió este enfoque por el de la ciencia ficción y su contenido pasó a ser similar al de Imagination, publicando sencillas óperas espaciales. En 1958, ante el gran interés del público por el espacio, Hamling cambió el título por el de Space Travel, pero el efecto sobre las ventas fue escaso. La tirada de la revista se vio afectada por el auge del libro de bolsillo y la liquidación en 1957 de American News Company, una importante compañía de distribución editorial, dificultó aún más la supervivencia de las pequeñas revistas como ésta. Hamling decidió dejar de publicar tanto Imaginative Tales como Imagination en 1958, para invertir el dinero en Rogue, una revista dirigida al público masculino que había creado en 1955 emulando a Playboy.
