Bolling Branham

Bolling Branham was a science fiction writer associated with the pulp-magazine era of the 1950s. His best-known work is Spacemen Are Born, a story originally published in Planet Stories in May 1952 and later preserved by Project Gutenberg.

Catalog and bibliography sources also credit him with additional short fiction, including work that appeared in magazines such as Fantastic Story Magazine. Because reliable biographical records about him are scarce, most of what can be confirmed today comes from publication histories rather than from detailed personal accounts.

That scarcity makes Branham an interesting figure for classic-SF readers: he stands as one of those writers whose name survives mainly through the stories themselves. If you enjoy vintage speculative fiction, his work offers a snapshot of the big-dream, space-age imagination that defined much of the era.
