B.G. Davis held the title of Editor at all Ziff-Davis magazines but had little daily involvement at Amazing. After Browne's departure Norman Lobsenz was Editorial Director (writing editorials but not buying stories) until the magazine was sold to Cohen. Under Cohen's first years, the magazine was edited largely by Joseph Wrocz, who signed himself "Joseph Ross." Elinor Mavor used the title Editorial & Art Director for a while before dropping "Omar Gohagen" completely. Pierce Watters was "Executive Editor" and superior to Mohan during Mohan's second term.
