Most of its covers were by Earle KBergey or Rudolph Belarski. Its contributors included AugustDerleth, HenryKuttner and Manly WadeWellman, under their own names and various pseudonyms. Although its companion magazines always publicized each other, they hardly mentionedStrange Stories. The magazine has remained remarkably little known. [MJE]
