About the author
Born James Judson Harmon on April 21, 1933, in Mount Carmel, Illinois, Jim Harmon was an American short story writer and historian of popular culture. He published science fiction professionally from the 1950s onward and also wrote under the name Judson Grey.
Alongside his fiction, he built a lasting reputation as a chronicler of classic radio. His books and essays helped keep interest alive in radio heroes, adventure serials, and the wider nostalgia scene, earning him the nickname "Mr. Nostalgia" in some circles.
Harmon died on February 16, 2010. Readers remember him both for his imaginative magazine fiction and for the enthusiasm he brought to documenting entertainment history.
