Edmond Hamilton

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edmond Moore Hamilton (born October 21, 1904 in Youngstown , Ohio , † February 1, 1977 in Lancaster , California ) was an American science fiction writer. He is best known as the inventor of the character of Captain Future and author of the corresponding novel series. Also known is his novel Star Kings (German as rulers in space or Die Sternenkönige ).

Life

Hamilton was the son of newspaper cartoonist Scott B. Hamilton and teacher Maude Hamilton, nee Whinery. He grew up with two older sisters on a small farm in Poland , Ohio. In 1911 the family moved to New Castle , Pennsylvania . From 1919 to 1921 he studied physics at Westminster College in New Wilmington , Pennsylvania. From 1922 he worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad , but lost the job in 1924 and decided to become a writer.

In 1926, Hamilton published his first short story, The Monster-God of Mamurth, in the August issue of Weird Tales magazine and began working as a freelance writer. He proved to be a prolific writer who wrote dozens of novels and hundreds of short stories, also under various pseudonyms, that appeared in the pulp magazines of the time. His novels were usually published in book form much later. A first collection of his short stories ( The Horror on the Asteroid and Other Tales of Planetary Horror ) appeared in 1936.

Science Fiction Convention in New York City, July 2, 1939, Leo Margulies, editorial director of Standard Magazines

Hamilton is considered to be the inventor of the Space Opera together with EE Smith . In 1939 , at the first Worldcon in New York , Leo Margulies, then editor of Standard Magazines , developed the idea of ​​a magazine series in which a novel with a fixed protagonist should form the main part of each issue. Hamilton was commissioned to develop such a character and write the novels. The result was Captain Future and the novels first appeared in the magazine named after him. The Pulp series published a total of 27 episodes, all of which were written by Hamilton with the exception of episodes 14, 17 and 20. From episode 18, the Captain Future novels appeared in the magazine Startling Stories . Episode 18, Red Sun of Danger , was nominated for the Retro Hugo Award in 1996.

In the mid-1940s, Hamilton became one of the writers for Superman and co-wrote numerous DC Comics stories through 1966 . A tribute to Hamilton and his Captain Future stories appeared in the character of Colonel Future, who shares his civil name with the real-life author.

On December 31, 1946, Hamilton married the science fiction and screenwriter Leigh Brackett .

For his short story Island of Unreason , Hamilton received the Jules Verne Prize, which was awarded for the first time in 1934 . In 1964 he was Guest of Honor at WorldCon and in 1967 he received the First Fandom Hall of Fame Award . After his death, the Edmond Hamilton Memorial Award was launched in honor of his memory .

The evaluation of Hamilton in the SF criticism is ambivalent. Sam Moskowitz calls him "one of the most underrated (but not unappreciated) SF authors." One of the reasons for this he sees is that in the late 1940s, when Asimov , Heinlein and others made a name for themselves and became SF classics, Hamilton was busy writing one Captain Future novel after the other, so that later, more serious work was hardly noticed, but was immediately linked to the author of the hero with the “absurd name”.

Hamilton's style and characters - especially in the early works - are almost unanimously viewed negatively. For Don D'Ammassa , they are "so bad that his work couldn't have been published in any other genre," and for Chad Oliver , "the characterization was minimal and the dialogues creepy." Hamilton's consideration of scientific facts is also considered negligent, to say the least, when, for example, in Across Space (1926) the Martians drag their overpopulated planet close to the earth, where it then simply sticks to the edge of the atmosphere.

On the other hand, Hamilton is recognized as one of the fathers of space opera . The pattern used again and again in Captain Future and in Hamilton's other tales, in which a catastrophic threat to the world arises and the hero then saves the world - which earned him the nickname "World Saver" or sometimes "World Wrecker" - makes him The forefather of notorious world steppers like James T. Kirk in Star Trek or Cliff Allister McLane in space patrol - not to mention the Interstellar Patrol invented by Hamilton a few years before EE Smith's Galactic Patrol . Hamilton's indirect influence on SF culture and popular culture in general is therefore considerable.

Hamilton's lively imagination and his talent for awakening a “sense of the wonderful” in the reader, that sense of wonder that the winners of the Edmond Hamilton Memorial Award should also address, are also recognized.
