Fantastic Stories Presents the Fantastic Universe Super Pack #2 collects more than 100,000 words of science fiction and fantasy from one of the liveliest magazines of the 1950s SF boom. Fantastic Universe began publishing in 1953 and continued until 1960, arriving during a crowded but fertile period when magazine science fiction was expanding in every direction: space adventure, satire, alien contact, future history, psychic powers, time travel, interplanetary danger, and strange new forms of fantasy.
This oversized second Fantastic Universe Super Pack gathers work by Harry Harrison, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Frank Belknap Long, Evelyn E. Smith, Carl Jacobi, Forrest J. Ackerman, Robert F. Young, Robert J. Shea, H. Beam Piper, Henry Kuttner, Eando Binder, Alan E. Nourse, Andre Norton, Poul Anderson, and many others. Included are:

It is a broad, energetic sampler of the field's mid-century range, from famous names to rediscovered voices, and a strong companion to the other Positronic Publishing Super Packs devoted to classic science fiction, fantasy, and adventure.
