INTRODUCING NEW PULP AUTHORS
Once in a
while I will be spotlighting one of our new pulp authors. These will just be
short bios. The author is encouraged to add more information at any time, and
since my data is a bit old (taken from the back of books we – or others –
published) new information would be appreciated. This is not limited to just
the authors of the FADING SHADOWS magazines.
Other new pulp authors can be included. Just send me a short bio, and an
illustration if you have one.
Ray Capella: From Alhambra, California, Ray was a
noted illustrator for a number of SF & Fantasy journals before coming over
to the Fading Shadows magazines. He contributed a lot of interior and cover art
for our SF titles, as well as illustrating heroic characters like Doc Savage
and The Shadow. But Ray didn’t just illustrate, he also wrote, both articles
and fiction. He wrote half a dozen or more stories for our magazines, some
featuring his new pulp hero, The Domino Mask under the pseudonym of Chester
Ingram. Unfortunately, Domino Mask is another pulp hero lost to contemporary
readers since Ray passed away several years ago, and his stories are hidden away in
out of print magazines.
The same Ray Capella who illustrated the old AMRA Fanzine and wrote the 'Arquel of Argos' Hyborian pastiche stories?
