A complete four‑issue 1955 run of Imagination: Stories of Science and Fantasy (March, April, May, June). This set includes the full serialization of George O. Smith’s Highways in Hiding as well as the increasingly sought‑after June 1955 issue featuring Philip K. Dick’s “The Hood Maker.”


These mid‑century digest magazines are original, not facsimiles. Condition across the set ranges Good to Very Good, with typical light handling wear for 1950s digests. I did not notice any writing, underlining, or highlighted pages.
