Publication History
Unknown Worlds of Science Fiction ran six bimonthly issues (cover-dated Jan.-Nov. 1975), plus one annual publication, Unknown Worlds Of Science Fiction Giant Size Special #1 (1976). A black-and-white, science fiction comics magazine, it was published by Magazine Management, at the time the parent company of Marvel Comics, under the Curtis Magazines imprint. Utilizing many Marvel writers and artists, as well as other creators, it was launched following the cancellation of Marvel's 1973-74 comic book SF anthology Worlds Unknown.
A framing device throughout the series featured an old curio dealer who presented his shop's visitors with dramas captured in "slow glass", a concept that series editor Roy Thomas and writer Tony Isabella credited in the magazine to writer Bob Shaw.
