Rog Phillips

Born Roger Phillip Graham on February 20, 1909, he was an American science fiction writer best known under the pen name Rog Phillips. He published extensively in the great age of pulp science fiction magazines, and reference sources consistently link him most strongly with Amazing Stories and other magazines edited by Ray Palmer.

He was especially known for short fiction and for writing a large volume of magazine work, sometimes using other names, including Craig Browning. Science fiction reference sources describe him as a prolific contributor to the field in the 1940s and 1950s, and his name still turns up often in discussions of classic magazine SF.

Some sources differ on whether to list his death year as 1965 or 1966. Wikipedia and the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction give March 2, 1966, while other catalog-style pages sometimes use 1965, so it is safest to note that he wrote from the Golden Age period into the mid-20th century and remains remembered for his steady presence in early science fiction magazines.
