Arthur G. Stangland was an American writer of science fiction who was born in Astoria, Oregon, on July 24, 1908, and died on December 9, 1990. He also published as A. G. Stangland, and archival records note that he and his wife, writer Artie Stangland (also known as Artie Appleton), lived in Astoria.
His fiction appeared in popular pulp magazines, especially in the late 1920s through the 1950s. Confirmed works include "The Ancient Brain" in Science Wonder Stories (1929), "The Eye of Two Worlds" in Wonder Stories (1931), "Outcast in Space" in Wonder Stories Quarterly (1931), "50th Century Revolt" in Wonder Stories (1932), "Outcasts from Mars" in Wonder Stories (1932), and "The House from Nowhere" in Fantastic Universe (1953).
Today, Stangland is mostly remembered by science fiction readers for those energetic magazine tales and by researchers through the preserved Arthur G. Stangland and Artie Stangland papers at the University of Oregon. I couldn’t confirm a suitable portrait image from the sources I checked, so no profile image is included.
