Edwin Balmer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edwin Balmer (July 26, 1883, Chicago - March 21, 1959) was an American science fiction writer. Together with author Philip Gordon Wylie, he wrote the catastrophe novels When Worlds Collide and After Worlds Collide. The former of the two books was eventually made into an award-winning movie by George Pal. Balmer also helped create (with artist Marvin Bradley) the syndicated comic strip Speed Spaulding, partially based on the Worlds Collide series, which ran from 1938 through 1941 in the comic book Famous Funnies.
