Publication historyColossus was originally announced as a forthcoming publication by Arkham House as early as 1965.[1] However, it remained unpublished into the 1980s.[2] Phil Rahman and Dr. Dennis Weiler approached the Wandrei estate with the hopes of publishing the collection. While no manuscript nor proposed contents could be found, Rahman and Weiler went forward and published a collection using the same title as the unpublished Arkham House collection. It was the first book published by Fedogan & Bremer. In 1999, in honor of their 10th anniversary, Fedogan & Bremer issued a second edition of the book ({{ISBN|1-878252-45-3}}). The second edition contained an updated introduction, replaced the note by Philip J. Rahman with a newly discovered preface that Wandrei had done for an unpublished collection, and added two stories in place of the bibliography. A gallery of photographs was also added. "Farewell to Earth"{{Infobox short story| name = Farewell to Earth—The Original Ending | title_orig = | translator = | image = | caption = | author = Donald Wandrei | illustrator = | cover_artist = | country = United States | language = English | series = | genre = Science fiction | publisher = Fedogan & Bremer | release_date = 1999 | english_release_date = | media_type = Print (paperback) | pages = i, 4 | preceded_by = | followed_by = }} The editor of Astounding Stories did not like the ending for the story "Farewell to Earth" that Donald Wandrei had originally written and Wandrei was forced to change it.[3] Fedogan and Bremer published a chapbook containing the ending of the story as Wandrei originally wrote it. The chapbook also included an introduction by D. H. Olson and was published in an edition of 75 copies. The book was given to those who pre-ordered the 1999 edition of Colossus.
