1 y separately published work icon Super-Science Fiction Massachusetts : Headline Publications , 1956-1959 Z995645 1956-1959 periodical science fiction (2 issues)

Edited by W.W. Scott, Super-Science Fiction (which ran to a total of eighteen issues) was not, according to Mike Ashley, a good science-fiction periodical; since Scott could not distinguish good science fiction from bad, the magazine's quality was distinctly variable.

Towards the end of its run, the magazine embraced the contemporary film trend of monster threats: each of the final four issues included the large banner 'Special Monster Issue'.
