It became known as one of few magazines to publish both foreign and Polish short stories, as well as full-length novels in instalments.
Today Fantastyka is dedicated predominantly to short stories, but also to articles on modern science, film and book reviews and comic pages.
Apart from Nowa Fantastyka, there have been several periodical variations of the title: Fantastyka featured stories by Philip K. Dick, J. R. R. Tolkien, Anthony Burgess, Orson Scott Card, Kir Bulychov, and many other acclaimed writers.
Finally, on the middle pages that used to be devoted to art, Fantastyka featured many renowned artists, including Enki Bilal, Wojciech Siudmak, Zdzisław Beksiński, Jacek Yerka and Jerzy Skarżyński.
The comic series Lil & Put (by Maciej Kur and Piotr Bednarczyk) are currently published in the magazine, with satirical take on fantasy adventures.
