About Harrison:
Before becoming an editor, Harrison started in the science fiction field
as an illustrator, notably with EC Comics\' two science fiction comic
books, Weird Fantasy and Weird Science. A large number of his early
short stories were first published under house pseudonyms such as
\'Wade Kaempfert\'. Harrison also wrote for syndicated comic strips, creating
the \'Rick Random\' character. Harrison is now much better known
for his writing, particularly his humorous and satirical science fiction,
such as the Stainless Steel Rat series and the novel Bill, the Galactic Hero
(which satirises Robert A. Heinlein\'s Starship Troopers).
