Dell Magazines
Dell Magazines is a magazine company known for its many puzzle magazines, astrology magazines, as well as four fiction magazines: Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, Asimov's Science Fiction, and Analog Science Fiction and Fact. It was founded by George T. Delacorte Jr. in 1921 as part of his Dell Publishing Co. Dell was sold in March 1996 to Crosstown Publications, with headquarters in Norwalk, Connecticut. The parent company is now known as Penny Publications, LLC, which also publishes Penny Press puzzle magazines. The first puzzle magazine Dell published was Dell Crossword Puzzles, in 1931, and since then it has printed magazines containing word searches, math and logic puzzles, and other diversions. Dell Magazines acquired Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, Asimov's Science Fiction, and Analog Science Fiction and Fact. in 1992 from Davis Publications. In 2019, Dell Magazines is changing the name of the "John W. Campbell Award" to the "Astounding Award" after 2019 winner Jeannette Ng openly condemned John W. Campbell's racist and fascist ideas during her award acceptance speech. Current Dell magazines
