Uncanny Tales was an American pulp science fiction magazine that ran from April 1939 to May 1940. Published by Martin Goodman under the "Manvis Publications, Inc." imprint. It should not be confused with Goodman's publication "Uncanny Stories".
The Goodmans' magazines included several "weird-menace" pulps — a genre known for incorporating sex and sadism, with story lines that placed women in danger, usually because of a threat that appeared to be supernatural but was ultimately revealed to be the work of a human villain. The influence of the "sex and sadism" side of the Goodman's portfolio of magazines was apparent in Marvel Science Stories: it was not strictly a weird-menace pulp, but authors were sometimes asked to add more sex to their stories than was usual in the science fiction field at the time.
