"When Galaxy appeared in October 1950, it promised a kind of science fiction different from the space operas of previous decades. H.L. Gold, the publisher, believed in offering mature science fiction in an attractive, adult format, challenging other publishers who dismissed the idea as funny. They adhered to cliched themes, while Galaxy aimed to explore deeper concepts through ideas, humor, satire, psychology, and sociology."
"Galaxy Magazine became significant not only for its writers, such as Ray Bradbury and Isaac Asimov, but also for its editorial focus. Unlike 'Astounding Science Fiction,' which leaned towards technology and post-WWII America, Galaxy embraced a broader spectrum of thought-provoking themes and was known for its favorable pay rates and exclusive contracts for authors."
