Anthony Gilmore

Anthony Gilmore was not one writer but the shared pen name of Harry Bates and Desmond W. Hall. They used it for their collaborations in Astounding Stories of Super-Science, where Bates worked as editor and Hall as assistant editor.

The name is best known for the Hawk Carse stories, later gathered in Space Hawk: The Greatest of Interplanetary Adventures. These tales were part of the energetic early wave of magazine science fiction in the 1930s, full of danger, strange worlds, and larger-than-life villains.

Because Anthony Gilmore was a pseudonym rather than a single public figure, a clear verified portrait for this byline is not easy to confirm. If you're browsing this author page, it's best to think of Anthony Gilmore as one of pulp science fiction's collaborative house names—an identity built by two editors-writers working together at the start of the genre's magazine boom.
