'''Madge''' was a "minor [[prozine]] of modern times" (as [[Fancyclopedia 2]] (see below) described it in 1959),  ''Imagination'' ran for 63 issues from 1950 to 1958. Its first two issues were edited by [[Raymond A. Palmer]] and thereafter with [[William L. Hamling]].  Its full title was initially ''Imagination: Stories of Science and Fantasy'' and starting in late 1955 it became ''Imagination Science Fiction''.
 
  
''Imagination'' was similar in content to ''[[Amazing Stories]]'' featuring mostly [[space opera]], and never really established its own identity -- one critic describes it as "more of the same".  Writers who often contributed to ''Imagination'' included [[Daniel F. Galouye]], [[Kris Neville]], [[Milton Lesser]], [[Edmond Hamilton]], and [[Dwight V. Swain]].

(Did you mean Forry's Imagination!, a prozine or a David Jabin fanzine?)


The Country of Fandom, refuge from Mundania.

From Fancyclopedia 2, ca. 1959
Not the minor prozine of modern times, but Ackermanese for the collectivity of all fans; the Imagi-nation is what they're citizens of, even as territorially defined states like Timbuktu, Patagonia, Slobbovia, and like that.
