Argosy (magazine)
Encyclopedia : A : AR : ARG : Argosy (magazine)
Argosy was an American pulp magazine, considered to be the first pulp magazine, published by Frank Munsey. It began as a general information magazine entitled Golden Argosy in 1882. It began to publish fiction and eventually published its first all-fiction issue in 1896. Thereafter it was largely a fiction magazine, until it ceased publication well into the 20th century. During its run, it published work in a number of literary genres; towards the end of its run, it became associated with the men's adventure pulp genre of "true" stories of conflict with wild animals or wartime combat, and later was considered a softcore men's magazine.
Other magazines have used the title since the original folded; the latest produced its first issue in 2003.
