| Notes | Some people credit Gernsback with originating the term "science fiction". He originated and published Amazing Stories pulp magazine. Arch villain McFadden was likely based and inspired by Gernsback's rival publisher (and kooky body builder), Bernarr MacFadden, who had manipulated things behind the scenes to cause Gernsback to fail and go into debt, thus allowing MacFadden to seize Amazing Stories. Art credit by Craig Delich. Continued next issue. |
