Longest-lived, broad-based popular magazine of the paranormal. Launched in 1948 in Chicago by Ray Palmer and Curtis and Mary Fuller, Fate came into being during the golden era of pulp magazines. But while many of the other pulps of the time Amazing Stories, for example have ceased publication, Fate has managed to weather the storms of changing times. In 1955 the Fullers bought Palmer’s interest in the magazine and continued to publish it until 1989, when Llewellyn Worldwide, a new age movement and occult book publisher in St. Paul, Minnesota, purchased the magazine.
