Dafür konnte Wollheim als verantwortlichen Herausgeber 1971 [[Richard Davis (Publizist)|Richard Davis]] gewinnen, der diese Aufgabe bis 1973 innehatte. Nach einer Pause von zwei Jahren übernahm [[Gerald W. Page]] diese Aufgabe bis 1979 und [[Karl Edward Wagner]] führte diese Reihe bis zu seinem Tod 1994 fort.
