About the author
Dick Purcell was an American science-fiction writer whose published stories appeared in the mid-1950s. Available records identify six published stories from 1955 and 1956, including Gunnison’s Bonanza and John Harper’s Insight.
Very little is known about his personal life, and he should not be confused with the earlier actor Dick Purcell, who played Captain America in the 1944 film serial. The surviving stories remain his clearest legacy: compact, imaginative tales shaped by the spirit of classic pulp science fiction.
