Quarterly books were very much a GA phenomenon. I guess originally so that a publisher wouldn't have to commit to too many issues before getting sales data back, and they continued through the war years due to paper rationing and a desire to keep a number of titles going. After that perhaps an uncertainty that the some titles might be able to transition out of the war era.

 

I can't recall any quarterly publications from the Silver Age, does anyone know when the last were published from the GA to SA eras?

Maybe they were following on the publication frequencies of some pulps. (shrug)

 

In the back of my mind, I seem to recall SA quarterlies but I can't think of what they may have been. hm
