1951 saw Edmond Hamilton splitting his time between Pulps and comics. It was the year he finished the Captain Future stories though his comic counter part Chris KL-99 continued. Hamilton used two pseudonyms this year with the return of “Hugh Davidson” from Weird Tales and “Robert Starr” a DC house name used by John Broome and Robert Kanigher as well.
