ôIf John Russell Fearn had been alive today, I am sure that he would be delighted with this epitaph and probably just as bewildered and surprised . . . I don't think that he ever realized how much of a pioneer of science fiction he was: he wrote it because he liked the medium. I don't think he could ever be called a ægreat' writer of SF, from the literary standpoint, but he was one of the Greats of the earlier ages, and his name should be there with Hugo Gernsback, John W. Campbell, Stanley G. Weinbaum, Murray Leinster, and all the others whose thoughts and works formulated today's modern science fiction.ö
