[edit] Licensing

Works copyrighted before 1964 had to have the copyright renewed sometime in the 28th year. If the copyright was not renewed the work is in the public domain. It is best to search 6 months before and after the required year. Some magazines are published the month before the cover date and some registrations may be delayed for a few months.

This 1927 issue of Amazing Stories would have to be renewed in 1954. Online page scans of the Catalog of Copyright Entries, published by the US Copyright Office can be found here. http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/cce/

The search of the Renewals for Periodicals for 1953, 1954 and 1955 show no renewal entries for Amazing Stories. Experimenter Publishing Company owned Amazing Stories in 1927 and Ziff-Davis Publishing owned it from 1938 to 1965. Based on searches of the copyright records, Ziff-Davis Publishing did not make it a practice to renew magazine copyrights.

The copyright on the magazine was not renewed and it is in the public domain.

A copyright to the cover art is claimed by the estate of Frank R. Paul. More information can be found at this web site http://www.frankwu.com/paul1.html .
