It began as a genre publisher of mysteries and westerns, and soon branched out into other genres, publishing its first science fiction title in 1953. This was successful, and science fiction titles outnumbered both mysteries and westerns within a few years.

Ace became known for the tête-bêche binding format used for many of its early books, although it did not originate the format.
