Edited by Harry Bates as a companion to Astounding Stories, it combined the supernatural horror and fantasy of Weird Tales with vigorous action plots. Had the Great Depression not intervened and killed it after seven issues, the whole history of fantastic fiction might have been different. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Strange Tales rapidly attracted the most imaginative and capable writers of the day, including such Weird Tales regulars as Robert E. Howard, Clark Ashton Smith, Henry S. Whitehead, Hugh B. Cave, Ray Cummings, and numerous others. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Certainly Strange Tales gave Weird Tales a serious run for its money. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The March 1932 issue features work by Paul Ernst, Henry S.
