[2] The Time Traveller grew out of a New York City fan club called The Scienceers and was started by Mort Weisinger, Julius Schwartz, Allen Glasser, and Forrest J Ackerman.
According to SF historian Sam Moskowitz, The Time Traveller was the first fanzine to be devoted exclusively to science fiction.
First, beginning in late 1932, the fanzine was absorbed by Science Fiction Digest, which was founded by earlier Time Traveller editors Schwartz, Ackerman, and Weisinger.
The others involved were David H. Keller, P. Schuyler Miller, Arthur J. Burks, Ralph Milne Farley, "Eando Binder," Francis Flagg, Lloyd Arthur Eshbach, Bob Olsen, J. Harvey Haggard, and Abner J. Gelula; Raymond A. Palmer wrote one installment under his own name, and another under the pseudonym "Rae Winters."
Hamilton composed the final episode of the serial, and finished with a bang, destroying the planets Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus with an atomic disintegrator ray.
