Ed Earl Repp about 1938

Edward Earl Repp (born May 22, 1901 in Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania ; died February 14, 1979 in Butte , California ) was an American science fiction , western and screenwriter.

Life

Repp was the son of Charles Edward Repp, an engineer, and Mary Caroline Repp, née Dunham. He started writing early and published his first short story in the British magazine Wide World in 1920 . From 1929 he began to publish on a larger scale in the pulp magazines of the era, initially mainly science fiction, but also horror and adventure stories, and later westerns. He was the last to interview legendary gunslinger Wyatt Earp before his death in 1929. In addition to his real name, he used the pseudonyms Bradner Buckner and John Cody as author names for Westerns , he is also said to have published under the publishing pseudonym Peter Field. His science fiction is classified as little remarkable by John Clute . Bleiler went further by characterizing Repp “as a careless, clumsy scribe who often set an example for the worst of the pulp tradition”. From the mid-1930s on, Repp wrote numerous scripts for Warner Brothers , Columbia , RKO and other studios , mainly for western films.

According to him, he has published 19 books and 1,500 stories in magazines, as well as around 200 film credits .

In 1925 Repp had married Margaret Louise Smith. They had a son (born 1927) who died in Vietnam in 1971. Repp died in 1979 at the age of 77.
