About the author

David R. Sparks was an American pulp-fiction writer whose stories appeared in early science-fiction magazines. Public-domain library listings identify him as David Rhodes Sparks and note that he died in 1968.

Modern publisher and reader pages connect his name with collections such as The Pulp Fiction Megapack, Astounding Stories of Super-Science, The Winged Men of Orcon, and The Ape-Men of Xlotli. Taken together, those listings suggest a writer remembered mainly for imaginative adventure tales from the pulp era rather than for a large modern author profile.

Reliable pages located for this search did not provide a clear, confirmed portrait photograph, so no profile image is included here.
