| Interesting... "The Onslaught from Venus" (a scene from which is depicted on the Frank R. Paul-illustrated cover) appears in this issue, as credited to "Frank Phillips" -- in actuality, a pseudonym for Philip Francis Nowlan, the creator/writer of Anthony "Buck" Rogers. Since Buck Rogers became so successful so fast after being adapted from AMAZING STORIES into a comic strip, Nowlan's entire prose science fiction output amounted to a mere 4 stories after the initial two Rogers novellas, "Armageddon 2419 A.D." and "The Airlords of Han". In addition to this issue's "Onslaught from Venus", there were:
"The Time Jumpers" in AMAZING v8n10 (Feb 1934);
"The Prince of Mars Returns" in FANTASTIC Adventures v3n2 & 3 (Feb & Mar 1940); and "Space Guards" in ASTOUNDING SF v25n3 (May 1940).
After that, Nowlan apparently quit writing anything but the Buck Rogers strip. |
