Our winner a couple of weeks ago, “customgod” chose the story you’re about to hear. Edmond Hamilton was born in Youngstown Ohio in 1904 and this is his first appearance on the podcast. His career as a science fiction writer began with the publication of "The Monster God of Mamurth" in the August 1926 issue of Weird Tales Magazine.
Weird Tales would publish 79 works of fiction by Hamilton from 1926 to 1948, making him one of the magazine's most prolific contributors.
In 1942 Hamilton began writing for DC Comics, specializing in stories for Superman and Batman. He wrote more than a dozen novels and almost 200 short stories.
On New Years Eve 1946 Hamilton married science fiction author Leigh Brackett, Ray Bradbury was his best man. Hamilton died in February 1977, his wife died a year later.
From the July 1948 issue of Weird Tales Magazine our story is found on page 70, He That Hath Wings by Edmond Hamilton…
