[edit] Professorship
I have a book jacket in front of me that says that Williamson is Professor Emeritus at New Mexico University. Nothing about that here. ----Isaac R 28 June 2005 20:38 (UTC)
[edit] Work for Marvel
Apparently Williamson published a "complete novel" (as it was billed on the cover) called "The Angel from Hell" under the pseudonym "Nils O Sonderlund" in Marvel Tales Vol. 1 No. 6, Dec. 1939. This is one of the pre-Marvel Comics pulp publications of Martin Goodman. I've read this on several sources but I'm not sure where this information originated. - Kevingarcia 05:44, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Moskowitz
Careful with Moskowitz as a source, folks. His biographical articles in Amazing and elsewhere were lively, but not always well researched, generating quite a bit of controversy at the time. He was also known to take side in long running disputes. Here is a excerpt from a review of one of his better efforts:
- Most of Moskowitz's errors are obvious ones: Hervey Allen's Israfel was published in 1926, not 1924 (p. x); Professor Mabbott had not at his death "completed preparation" of his edition of Poe (p. xiii); Poe attended the University of Virginia, not the University of Richmond (p. 17); Appendix XII, not Chapter XII, of Arthur Hobson Quinn's Edgar Allan Poe: A Critical Biography is devoted to Poe's role in the com. position of The Atlantis (p. 207); and Poe courted Sarah Helen Whitman in 1848, not 1847 and 1848 (p. 233).

[edit] Longest career?
It's obvious that Williamson had one of the longest ever careers of any writer - but was it in fact the longest? Lee M 03:35, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
