Editing Galaxy Science Fiction (section)

===Overseas editions===
''Galaxy'' had multiple foreign editions.  This was in part because the original publisher, World Editions, had a European base, which Gold had planned to take advantage of when the magazine launched.  Overseas editions included:<ref name=TA_290-309/><ref name=TM_24/><ref name="Tuck_533">Tuck, ''Encyclopedia of Science Fiction and Fantasy, Vol. 3'', p.&nbsp;533.</ref><ref name="Tuck_564-567">Tuck, ''Encyclopedia of Science Fiction and Fantasy, Vol. 3'', pp.&nbsp;564–567.</ref>
*'''Argentina'''. Two magazines, ''Más Allá'' (June 1953&nbsp;– June 1957) and ''Géminis'' (July 1965&nbsp;– August 1965), reprinted stories primarily from ''Galaxy'', though they also published some original material and some stories reprinted from other sources.
*'''Finland'''. ''Aikamme tieteislukemisto'' (August 1958&nbsp;– December 1958) was a Finnish edition of ''Galaxy'', edited by Mary A. Wuorio and published by Viikkosanomat Oy.{{refn|Tuck states that there were four issues; according to Lawler there were five.<ref name=Tuck_564-567/><ref name=TA_857>Tymn & Ashley, ''Science Fiction, Fantasy and Weird Fiction Magazines'', p.&nbsp;857</ref>|group=notes}}
*'''France'''. There were two separate French editions of ''Galaxy'', both titled ''Galaxie''.  The first ran from November 1953 to April 1959 (a total of 65 issues), and was published by Editions OPTA, Paris.  The first 11 issues were edited by Irina Orloff, the next 16 by Jacqueline Boissy, and the remainder by Jeannine Courtillet. The stories were badly translated, and printed in shortened form.  Poor sales led to the cancellation of this version.  The second version ran for 158 issues, from May 1964 to August–September 1977, and was also published by Editions OPTA.  The editor was [[Alain Dorémieux]] for the first 67 issues, and Michel Demuth thereafter.  This version, which contained original French stories as well as translated material from ''Galaxy'', was much more successful and for a time outsold ''Fiction'', the leading French science fiction magazine.  From November 1974, more French authors were included, but publication ceased three years later when sales fell.
*'''Germany'''. Fifteen issues of a German version, titled ''Galaxis'', was released from March 1958 to May 1959 by Moewig Verlag, Munich.  The editor was Lothar Heinecke.  Fourteen numbered paperbacks titled ''Galaxy'' appeared between 1965 and 1970, published by Heyne Verlag, Munich. The editor was [[Walter Ernsting]], with Thomas Schlück as co-editor for the last five issues.  The contents were reprints from the American edition.
*'''Italy'''. An Italian reprint edition titled ''Galaxy'' ran from June 1958 to May 1964; there were 70 physical issues, with two issues containing double numbers, so that the last issue was numbered 72.  The publisher was Editrice Due Mondi, Milan, for the first ten issues; the remaining issues were published by Casa Editrice La Tribuna, Piacenza.  The editors were R. Valente (issues 1–26/27), Mario Vitali (28/29–39), and Lella Pollini Rambelli (40–72).  The magazine included some stories by Italian authors in addition to translated material.
*'''Netherlands'''.  Five issues, titled ''Galaxis'', appeared from October 1966 to February 1967, from Vector, Dordrecht.  The editor was Theo Kemp.  The translations were of poor quality.
*'''Norway'''.  The Norwegian magazine ''Tempo-Magasinet'', published by Greens Forlag, printed translations from US science fiction, mostly from ''Galaxy''.  It lasted for five issues, from November 1953 to March 1954.  The editor was Arne Ernst.
*'''Sweden'''.  A Swedish edition, titled ''Galaxy'', appeared from September 1958 to June 1960 (19 issues); the publisher is unknown, though it is known to be the same company that published the Swedish edition of ''[[Mad (magazine)|Mad]]''.  This version, which included some original Swedish stories, was edited by Henrik Rabe.
*'''UK'''.  Several British editions of ''Galaxy'' were produced. From 1953 to 1962 Strato Publications published 94 numbered issues. The early issues were labeled vol. 3 no. 1 to no. 12. With the 13th issue the "vol. 3" was dropped. Until issue 72 (February 1959) they were shortened versions of the US edition, with one or more stories or features being cut.{{refn|The first 71 issues were drawn from the July 1952 to December 1958 US issues, but the British reprint did not always exactly match the content sequence of the original US version, and seven issues—August 1952, March, April, and December 1954, April and May 1955, and December 1955—were not reprinted at all.<ref name=TA_307>Tymn & Ashley, ''Science Fiction, Fantasy and Weird Fiction Magazines'', p.&nbsp;307</ref> Note Lawler mistakenly gives September 1954 to March 1955 as the range for issues 11 to 29; it should be September 1953.|group=notes}} From no. 72 Strato reprinted the full US issue with a different title page, and from issue 80 the US edition was used with a variant cover. In 1967 a British edition appeared from Gold Star Publications; there were five bimonthly issues, identical to the US edition dated six months previously.  The British issues were dated January–February 1967 through September–October 1967; the corresponding US issues were June, August, October, and December 1966, and February 1967. [[Universal-Tandem Publishing Co Ltd]] published 25 issues of ''Galaxy'' in the UK; the original US issues were May–June 1972 to January 1975. These were re-covered for UK distribution. The numbering was erratic: it ran 1–10, then 11, 11, 12, 12, 12, 14, and finally 17–25.
