A mid-20th-century science fiction writer whose work appeared in magazines and anthologies, he is best remembered for concise, idea-driven stories with a classic pulp-era feel.
Edward G. Robles, Jr. was an American science fiction writer active in the 1950s. Reliable catalog and bibliography sources list him under both Edward G. Robles and Edward G. Robles, Jr., and record stories published during that period.
One of his best-known works is "See?", which appeared in Galaxy in June 1954 and was later preserved by Project Gutenberg. His fiction was also included in Fifty Short Science Fiction Tales, the well-known anthology edited by Isaac Asimov and Groff Conklin, which helped keep his work visible to later generations of readers.
Although not much biographical detail is readily confirmed from major public sources, Robles remains part of the rich magazine era of science fiction: a writer associated with short, clever speculative storytelling, the kind of tale that delivers its idea quickly and leaves a lingering twist behind.
