author
A little-known science fiction writer from the early 1960s, best remembered today for short magazine fiction and the poem-length work The Legacy. His surviving public record is sparse, which adds a bit of mystery to his place in pulp-era science fiction.
Dick Hank appears to have been a science fiction writer whose work was published in the early 1960s. Library and catalog records connect his name with short fiction in science fiction magazines, and Project Gutenberg lists The Legacy as a contemplative narrative poem from that period.
Very little biographical information seems to be readily available in major public sources, so it is hard to say much with confidence about his life beyond the work itself. What can be said is that his name still surfaces in archives of vintage speculative fiction, where readers can find traces of a writer interested in big ideas and bleak, reflective futures.
