Called the "World Wrecker" and "World Saver" for his early tales of "strange terrors from beyond" attacking the Earth, Hamilton also contributed many stories of fantasy or the supernatural to the genre fiction magazines of the 1930's.
After the collapse of the magazine science fiction market in the mid 1950's, Hamilton turned to writing scripts for comic books such as Superman, Batman and The Legion of Superheroes. Hamilton continued writing science fiction for the remainder of his life, publishing some of his best work including The Haunted Stars and stories such as "Day of Judgement" and "Reqieum." His last published work was 1972's "The Iron One."
