Argosy was originally owned by Frank Munsey, the creator of the pulps, and was an all-fiction magazine.

It stayed that way through the Fifties and in the Sixties became a mostly non-fiction men's magazine. Those were the first issues of Argosy I bought, because they still ran mystery novellas and some serialized mystery and espionage novels, like Kingsley Amis's James Bond novel COLONEL SUN.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-32017185242443072212009-06-20T09:11:08.753-05:002009-06-20T09:11:08.753-05:00Great stuff, James.
