Bryce Walton

Born in Missouri in 1918, Bryce Walton became a prolific American writer whose work appeared in the pulp and science-fiction magazines of the mid-20th century. Reliable reference sources identify him as Bryce Marvis Walton, and note that he wrote not only under his own name but also under alternate names including Kenneth O'Hara.

Before and during his writing career, he had a varied background that included service in World War II as a navy correspondent. Reference works also connect him with television writing, including work related to Captain Video, which fits the broad, energetic range of his fiction.

Walton died in 1988. He is remembered especially for his science fiction, fantasy, and other genre work, and for the sheer volume of stories he produced during the paperback and pulp-magazine era.
