Rocket Stories
Rocket Stories was a science fiction magazine that published three issues in 1953. The editor was Lester del Rey for the first two issues, and Harry Harrison for the final issue. It was one of a group of four magazines published by John Raymond. Rocket Stories was aimed at a more juvenile audience than Raymond's other science fiction magazines, but del Rey was able to find good material, including stories by Algis Budrys and John Jakes.[1]
