Fantastic Universe was a popular science fiction magazine that was published from 1953 to 1960. The digest-sized magazine ran for 69 issues, and when it debuted in 1953, it sold for 50 cents. However it was FATE magazine that was a potpourri of articles about the paranormal and other fantastic phenomena. FATE magazine was founded in 1948 and is still being published after many changes of ownership and style format.

l97l and l989. do not confuse with the Magazine publishers" code which is much more explicity and in fact even bans certain phrases as magazine titles- for example (Weird) Rumor has it the occult magazine (Fate) survived by changing its name to (Fate) original title was Weird Magazinel. Wyrd- old Anglo-saxon spelling originally meant (fate or Luck) as well as its usual strange handle. so, as Wyrd would have it they changed the title to Fate. Fate is NOT a comic book, nor was Weird.

Dr Karl Shuker is a leading zoologist and cryptozoologist, based in the UK, who has authored a variety of books and articles in Fate magazine and many other publications, specialising in cryptozoology and other mystery subjects. By the way Fatemagazine was originally supposed to be called Weird but some conference of Magazine publishers in l954 De Facto banned the word Weird in magazine titles- so it was fated to become Fate. The original Anglo Saxon word "wyrd" means both fate or luck and weird in the modern sense- and the shift from Weird to Fate, well, happened as Wyrd would have it!
