Hugo Gernsback (1884-1967) was a Luxembourgian inventor who went to United States in 1905 to develop his ideas. To publish a magazine about inventions started to be a way to get exposition. In 1926 Gersback created a magazine exclusively about science-fiction, and a decade later, he fused both thematics on "Science and Mechanics". This pulp magazine survived until 1984, but left us great covers, often representing retro-futuristic landscapes.
