Jack Williamson was referred to as "The Dean of Science Fiction." His first published story was "The Metal Man," in AMAZING STORIES, December, 1928. The illustration above is by Frank R. Paul. Even at the age of 20 Williamson's writing had a professional polish, and a narrative drive that propelled the story. Williamson was an amazing story himself; self-educated in his early years, he went on to get a doctorate and to be a college professor. He died in 2006 at age 98.Read more about The Metal Man right here or check out a scanned print copy here.The Metal Man begins as a narration by Russell, the best friend of the title character:“The Metal Man stands in a dark, dusty corner of the Tyburn College Museum. Just who is responsible for the figure being moved there, or why it was done, I do not know. To the casual eye it looks to be merely an ordinary life-size statue. The visitor who gives it a closer view…”Mind Webs was a 1970's series out of WHA Radio in Wisconsin that featured weekly short stories of science fiction by some of the genre's best writers. The music, sound cues and occasional character voices along with the performance of Michael Hansen, the reader, resulted in better than most fully dramatized productions of the period. Around 150 shows were aired between 1976 and 1984 varying in length, but most were about 30 minutes. Get full access to The Reader Crew at joshuajames.substack.com/subscribe
A near-mint condition copy of the very first Marvel comic published sold for $1.26 million at a public auction in Texas. The issue, called Marvel Comics no. 1, was published in 1939 and originally cost only 10 cents. The Certified Guaranty Company, a comic book grading service, gave the comic a 9.4 rating out of 10, making it the top-rated copy of the issue in existence. The comic introduced classic Marvel characters such as the Human Torch and Angel. Its cover art was drawn by Frank R. Paul, a famous science fiction artist. According to auction house Heritage Auctions, the issue was first bought by a mailman from a newsstand in Pennsylvania. The mailman had a practice of buying the first issues of comic books and magazines. Since then, the issue's owner had changed only a couple of times. According to the auction house, the issue's new owner wanted to remain anonymous. Heritage Auctions' senior vice president, Ed Jaster, considers the issue historic and treats it as the grandfather of all Marvel comics. He said that without it, people would not be able to enjoy Marvel comic books and films today. Despite the hefty price, Marvel Comics no. 1 is not the most expensive comic book ever sold. In 2014, a copy of DC Comics' Action Comics no. 1 was sold online for over $3.2 million. The comic marked the first appearance of one of DC Comics' most beloved superheroes, Superman. Before Marvel Comics no. 1, the most expensive Marvel comic ever auctioned was Amazing Fantasy no. 15. It cost $1.1 million and featured Spiderman, Marvel's famous web-slinging superhero.
