Scoops was a weekly British science fiction magazine published by Pearsons in tabloid format in 1934. It is considered the first British S.F. magazine, although, at the time it was sometimes referred to as a comic. This is a rare title nowadays and of great interest is that, "The Poison Belt" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is serialised from #13.

The first issue appeared in February 1934. Twenty issues appeared. The editor was Haydn Dimmock. Scoops was aimed at children, and it was not until several issues had appeared that Dimmock discovered there was an adult audience for science fiction. He attempted to change the magazine's focus to more mature material, but Pearson's cancelled the magazine because of poor sales. The last issue was dated 23 June 1934. The failure of the magazine contributed to the belief that Britain could not support a science fiction magazine, and it was not until 1937, with Tales of Wonder, that another attempt was made.

The scans are from old tired, copies and the text might be difficult to read in places but the illustrations are excellent.
