Science On Stage Biografía y Hechos
Analog Science Fiction and Fact es una revista estadounidense de ciencia ficción publicada bajo varios nombres desde 1930. El primer número, bajo el nombre Astounding Stories of Super-Science, publicado por William Clayton, con Harry Bates como editor, data de enero de 1930.[n 1] Clayton fue a la quiebra en 1933 y la revista fue vendida a la editorial neoyorquina Street & Smith. El nuevo editor fue F. Orlin Tremaine, que pronto hizo de Astounding la revista líder en el por entonces naciente campo de la ciencia ficción pulp, publicando historias tan conocidas como La legión del espacio de Jack Williamson y «Twilight» de John W. Campbell. A finales de 1937, Campbell asumió las funciones editoriales bajo la supervisión de Tremaine y al año siguiente Tremaine dejó la revista, dando a Campbell más independencia. Durante los años siguientes Campbell publicó muchas historias que se convirtieron en clásicos del género, como la serie de la Fundación de Isaac Asimov, Slan de A. E. van Vogt y varias novelas y relatos de Robert A. Heinlein. El período que se inició con la dirección de Campbell se considera a menudo como la Edad de oro de la ciencia ficción. Como Astounding Science-Fiction y Analog Science Fact & Fiction la revista ganó ocho veces el Premio Hugo a la mejor revista profesional, de dieciocho nominaciones. En 1950 a la revista le surgió una nueva competencia con la aparición de Galaxy Science Fiction y The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. El interés de Campbell en algunos temas de pseudociencia, como la dianética (una versión temprana de la cienciología), alejó a algunos de sus escritores habituales y Astounding perdió su consideración de líder del ramo, aunque continuó publicando historias populares e influyentes como la novela de Hal Clement Misión de gravedad (Mission of Gravity), publicada en 1953, o la de Tom Godwin «The Cold Equations» (Las frías ecuaciones) al año siguiente. En 1960, Campbell cambió el nombre de la revista a Analog Science Fiction & Fact; quería deshacerse de la palabra Astounding ('sorprendente', 'asombroso', en idioma inglés) del título, pues la consideraba demasiado sensacionalista. Al mismo tiempo, Street & Smith vendió la revista a Condé Nast Publications. Campbell permaneció como editor hasta su muerte en 1971; Ben Bova asumió el control de 1972 a 1978 y el carácter de la revista cambió perceptiblemente. Bova publicó historias como The Gold in the Starbow's End de Frederik Pohl, nominada para los premios Hugo y Nébula, o Hero de Joe Haldeman, el primer relato de la serie ganadora del Hugo y el Nebula La guerra interminable (The Forever War); Pohl había sido incapaz de vender historias a Campbell, quien había rechazado Hero por considerarla inadecuada para la revista. Bova ganó cinco premios Hugo al mejor editor profesional consecutivos como editor de Analog. A Bova le sucedió Stanley Schmidt, quien continuó publicando historias de la mayoría de los autores que venían contribuyendo desde hacía años, lo que conllevó algunas críticas indicando que la revista se había estancado, aunque Schmidt inicialmente tuvo éxito en el mantenimiento de la tirada. La revista fue vendida a Davis Publications en 1980 y luego a Dell Magazines en 1992. Crosstown Publications adquirió Dell en 1996 y continúa siendo su editorial. Schmidt continuó editando la revista hasta 2012, cuando fue reemplazado por Trevor Quachri. Historia editorial William Clayton En 1926 Hugo Gernsback había lanzado Amazing Stories, la primera revista dedicada íntegramente a la ciencia ficción. Gernsback había estado publicando historias de ficción científica durante algún tiempo en sus revistas de aficionados, como Modern Electrics y Electrical Experimenter, pero decidió que el interés por el género era suficiente para justificar una revista mensual. Amazing fue todo un éxito, llegando rápidamente a una tirada de más de 100 000 ejemplares.[1] William Clayton, exitoso y respetado editor de varias revistas pulp, consideró la posibilidad de lanzar una publicación competitiva en 1928; según Harold Hersey, uno de sus redactores por entonces, Hersey había «discutido planes con Clayton para lanzar una hoja de fantasía pseudo-científica».[2] Clayton no estaba convencido, pero al año siguiente decidió lanzar una nueva revista, principalmente porque la hoja en la que se imprimían las portadas a color de sus revistas tenía un espacio para una cubierta más. Sugirió a Harry Bates, un editor recién contratado, que lanzaran una revista de historias de aventuras históricas. Bates propuso en su lugar un pulp de ciencia ficción, que se titularía Astounding Stories of Super Science, y Clayton estuvo de acuerdo.[3][4] Astounding fue publicado inicialmente por Publisher's Fiscal Corporation, una filial de Clayton Magazines.[4][7][8] El primer número apareció en enero de 1930, con Bates como editor. Bates pretendía publicar historias de acción y aventuras sencillas, solo con los elementos científicos imprescindibles para proporcionar una mínima plausibilidad.[4] Clayton pagó tarifas mucho mejores que Amazing y Wonder Stories —dos centavos por palabra en el momento de la aceptación, en lugar de medio centavo por palabra a la aceptación (o algunas veces más tarde)—, por lo que Astounding atrajo a algunos de los escritores de pulp más conocidos, como Murray Leinster, Victor Rousseau o Jack Williamson.[3][4] En febrero de 1931, el nombre original Astounding Stories of Super-Science se acortó a Astounding Stories.[9] La revista era rentable,[9] pero la Gran Depresión le causó problemas a Clayton. Normalmente, un editor pagaba a la imprenta con tres meses de retraso, pero una restricción de crédito iniciada en mayo de 1931, conllevó que recibiera presiones para reducir este retraso. Las dificultades financieras hicieron que Clayton comenzara a alternar la publicación de sus revistas, y cambió Astounding a una publicidad bimensual con el número de junio de 1932. Debido a la crisis, algunos impresores compraron las revistas que estaban en deuda con ellos, por lo que Clayton decidió montar su propia imprenta para evitar que esto le sucediera, pero resultó ser una decisión desastrosa. Clayton no disponía del dinero necesario para completar la transacción y, en octubre de 1932, decidió cesar la publicación de la revista, con la intención de que el número de enero de 1933 sería el último. Llegado el momento resultó que tenían suficientes historias en existencias y disponían de papel suficiente para publicar otro número, por lo que el último Astounding de Clayton salió en marzo de 1933.[10] En abril, Clayton fue a la bancarrota, y vendió sus títulos de la revista a T. R. Foley por 100 dólares; Foley los revendió en agosto a Street & Smith, una editorial bien establecida.[11][12][13] Street & Smith La ciencia ficción no era totalmente desconocida para Street & Smith, editorial que ya tenían dos títulos de publicaciones pulp que ocasionalmente se aventuraron en es....
