Amazing Stories, Vol. 1, No. 2

Amazing Stories, May 1926 This issue of Amazing Stories features classic scientific fiction reprinted from renowned authors. Jules Verne's "A Trip to the Center of the Earth" continues its serialization, following Professor Hardwigg and his English nephew Harry as they embark on an expedition into subterranean depths. The narrative describes the uncle's sudden excitement about a scientific discovery and establishes the protagonist's character as someone more interested in practical matters than abstract science. The issue also contains Edgar Allan Poe's "Mesmeric Revelation," H.G. Wells' "The Crystal Egg," Charles C. Winn's "The Infinite Vision," G. Peyton Wertenbaker's "The Man From the Atom" (sequel), and Verne's "Off On a Comet" (conclusion). An introductory editorial by editor Hugo Gernsback thanks readers for their positive response to the magazine's debut and announces forthcoming stories, including work by Clement Fezandie, Murray Leinster, and Jack Morgan.
