J. Anthony (John Anthony) Ferlaine

J. Anthony Ferlaine (1921–2011), also known as John Anthony Ferlaine, was a science-fiction writer whose work appeared in mid-century genre publications.

His story “One Out of Ten” was published in the November 1956 issue of Fantastic Universe. Set around a television quiz program, it follows a seemingly ordinary contestant who claims to be a Martian—and may possess extraordinary powers.

Ferlaine’s story has since been preserved in digital collections, including Project Gutenberg, helping introduce his imaginative blend of satire, suspense, and science fiction to new readers.
