John Russell Fearn

John Russell Fearn

John Russell Fearn(1908-1960) One of the first British writers to appear in US pulp science fiction magazines. He was a prolific writer who wrote Westerns and Crime fiction as well as science fiction. His writing appeared under numerous pseudonyms. He wrote series like "Adam Quirke", "Clayton Drew", "Golden Amazon", and "Herbert". At times these drew on the pulp traditions of Edgar Rice Burroughs. His work received praise for its vividness, but criticism for being deemed unpolished.
