Arthur K. Barnes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arthur K. Barnes (1911-1969) was an American science fiction author. Barnes wrote mostly for pulp magazines in the 1930's and 1940's. Barnes was most noted for his vivid and believable portrayals of alien life. As such, he is compared to Stanley G. Weinbaum who also wrote vividly of alien life, though he is not considered as good a writer as Weinbaum. Before Barnes (and Weinbaum), SF writers usually portrayed aliens as earth like monsters, with little originality.
Barnes wrote a series of stories about "interplanetary hunters" Tommy Strike and Gerry Carlyle, collected in the books, Interplanetary Hunter (1956) and Interplanetary Huntress (1956).
