[Also in 1946 Chester Martin created colorful drawings that Fiction House used for cover illustrations of the Summer, Fall, and Winter issues of the pulp magazine Planet Stories. The Summer issue included comments from the editor, Chester Whitehorn (1923-1996), in The Vizigraph section, which requested readers' opinions, "Let's have an idea of what you think about our new cover artist, Chester Martin. Does he fit the bill?" After reading this entreaty, a young fan named Ron Goulart replied to the editor at Fiction House in October 1946 to express his admiration for Chester Martin, and also to ask for confirmation of his suspicion that Chester Martin was the unidentified artist who drew Futura. On January 11, 1947 Chester Martin wrote a personal letter in response to thirteen-year-old Ron Goulart, "Yes. I am the artist that illustrates Futura."] |
