ⓘ About Gardner Francis Fox
Gardner Francis Fox was an American comic and pulp fiction author from Brooklyn, New York. He was born in Brooklyn in 1911 and got interested in books when he was gifted the “Mars” books by Edgar Rice Burroughs for his eleventh birthday. Similar to many of his contemporaries, reading those books was the turning point in his life as he became a devoted fan of fantasy and avid reader. As a teenager, he went to St. John’s University to study the law before he was admitted to the New York bar in 1935. While most of the Great Depression was over, the United States was still to experience a double-dip. Luckily, comic books were just coming of age and with a wide audience and very few writers he decided to become one.
