22 INSPIRATION ber and Kuttner in December were both a bit off the beam. Score for the 2nd year of STARTLING; 3 hits, 3 misses. Hamilton wasn't too good in January 1941, and even Wellman slipped a bit in the March issue. Friend's "The Water World" in May was fair. July was much better, with Williamson's "Gateway to Paradise". The Burroughs brothers failed in September, altho I liked F. B. Long's short "Prisoners in Flatland". Hillard's "The Gods Hate Kansas" was fair adventure in the November 1941 issue. Score for the 3rd year; 1 hit, 2 bunts, 3 misses. This review perhaps hasn't been entirely fair to STARTLING, which, by its very nature must be primarily a futuristic adventure magazine. It's actually generally good, but so much depends on that one story that it's hard to judge it in the same manner as other mags. DYNAMIC SCIENCE STORIES DYNAMIC SCIENCE STORIES was a companion mag to MARVEL, and a very short-lived one. First issue was dated February 1939, and had quite a lovely Paul cover. The lead story, Coblentz' "Lord of Tranerica", wasn't too bad, but the rest of the stories were just average. The April-May issue was DYNAMIC's second and last. DeCamp's "Ananias" was good, and Binder's lead story "Prison of Time" was fair. SCIENCE FICTION AND ESPERANTO TOO Until 1939 every science-fiction magazine had had a title which is some way reflected the idea of incredulity. In March 1939 there finally appeared a mag with the perfect title of SCIENCE FICTION, altho the title was somewhat out of place with the masthead slogan of "Fantastic Stories of the Future". Editor, to start, was Charlie Hornig, who had been last editor of the old WONDER. The first issue had a Paul cover, and a lead editorial by Hugo Gernsback himself.
