The August 1956 issue of Science Fiction Quarterly
(Volume 4, Number 4) was published by Columbia Publications and edited by Robert A. W. Lowndes.
It is notable for being one of the final science fiction magazines to remain in the pulp format during
a time when most competitors were transitioning to digests.
