	John W. Campbell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Campbell was well known for the opinionated editorials in each issue of the magazine, where he would sometimes argue quite preposterous hypotheses, perhaps intended to spark off story ideas.
		In the 1950s, Campbell developed strong interests in alternative theories that began to isolate him from some of his own mainstream writers such as Asimov.
		The John W. Campbell Memorial Award for Best Science Fiction Novel and John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer were named in his honour.

		Campbell was well known for the opinionated editorials in each issue of the magazine, where he would sometimes argue quite proposterous hypotheses, perhaps intended to spark off story ideas.
		The first issue of Astounding which was entirely edited by Campbell, the July 1939 issue, contained the stories "Black Destroyer" by van Vogt and "Lifeline" by Heinlein, and is often considered to be the beginning of science fiction's first "golden age".

		John W. Campbell's editorship of Astounding Science Fiction, where he nurtured some of the genre’s greatest talents, helped him shape modern science fiction more than any other individual.
		In September 1937, Campbell was appointed editor of Astounding Stories, a post he would retain until his death (the magazine was retitled Astounding Science Fiction in 1938 and Analog in 1960).
		Campbell brought to his editorial post a wealth of ideas and a determination to raise the standards of writing and thinking in magazine science fiction.

	The SF Site Featured Review: John W. Campbell's Golden Age of Science Fiction
		Campbell was a talker, an idea man spewing ideas for writers to write about and arguing to generate stories in the minds of his writers (as conflict is what drives stories).
		Campbell did publish women, but there weren't as many women readers or writers of SF as there are today: Leigh Brackett, Judith Merril, C.L. Moore and Wilmar Shiras, to name a few of the women Campbell did publish.
		Campbell expressed sympathy and his secret belief that the Jews were "homo superiorus." This idea of an evolutionary ladder didn't sit well with Klass and he told Campbell that separating out the Jews was racist, which confused Campbell since he thought that they were superior, which Campbell thought was a compliment.

		Campbell made his mark on Science Fiction as the unswerving "Science" Fiction editor of Astounding, beginning in 1937, and, a later version, Analog.
		Campbell was intimately involved with the creation of Dianetics in 1949, so much so that his wife, Dona, said it was the last straw and departed the marriage.
		Campbell was consumed by the belief that Dianetics worked and timed Astounding's article "Dianetics" in May of 1950 to co-incide with Hermitage House's release of the book Dianetics, The Modern Science of Mental Health, by Hubbard.

	John Campbell: Father of 'Astounding'
		Campbell didn't change all of this, but by 1949, the excesses were toned down, the science made more sense, and sometimes even style would grace the printed page.
		Campbell must have known he couldn't sell "Twilight" then -- it wasn't what any of the magazines wanted in a science fiction story, and he wasn't yet popular enough to get an editor to take a chance on it.
		For Campbell, this lack of curiosity was a fatal flaw.

	Dani Zweig's Belated Reviews #31: John W Campbell Jr
		Even before Campbell became an editor, tales of superscientific superadventure began to wear thin for him, and (under the pseudonym of Don Stuart) he turned to writing the kinds of short stories he would later demand of other writers.
		Anthologies of Campbell's stories (*) ("TheCloak of Aesir", "Who Goes There?", and (with considerable overlap) "The Best of John W Campbell"** are the ones with which I'm familiar) are mostly Stuart anthologies.
		Campbell's later science fiction is a literature of ideas, of wooden characters behaving improbably inorder to make this or that point.

		THE JOHN W. This is copyrighted material and may not be copied or reproduced in any form, including on other websites, without permission of the copyright holder.
		Campbell was the inimitable editor of Astounding Science Fiction and Unknown Worlds, and Heinlein was Campbell's greatest discovery and the mainstay of Campbell's magazines during the early 1940s.
		Similarly, Campbell had plans for the advancement of science fiction as a genre and Heinlein seemed unwilling to play anything like the role Campbell had hoped and expected he would and, indeed, was unwilling to play any role at all.

	Thing
		The screenplay changes the fundamental nature of the alien as presented in Campbell's short story: Lederer's "Thing" is a humanoid monster whose cellular structure is closer to vegetation although it must feed on blood to survive.
		Many characters' names are taken directly from the original Campbell story, as is a scene in which Russell's character devises a test to see who may be infected, by exposing a sample of each man's blood to extreme heat.
		Director John Carpenter and special makeup effects master Rob Bottin teamed up for this 1982 remake of the 1951 science fiction classic The Thing from Another World, and the result is a mixed blessing.

	Alternate View Column AV-83
		Over 35 years ago, in an editorial published in the September-1960 issue of this magazine, the great SF editor John W. Campbell, Jr., broke the news of a new gravity- defying invention, the Dean Drive.
		According to Campbell, when the Dean Drive was operating under power, it registered significantly less than its normal power-off weight on a bathroom scale.
		Alas, the work reported by Campbell served principally to demonstrate that bathroom scales are not reliable instruments for investigating antigravity or for overthrowing the laws of physics.

		Justly famous for encouraging and publishing such young writers as Sturgeon, Heinlein, and Asimov in sf's 1930s golden age, Campbell was an exceptional writer himself.
		Other stories, such as "Twilight," a melancholy vision of a humanity doomed to extinction by the loss of curiosity, and "Out of Night," in which a trio of humans determine to free themselves from an oppressive race called the Sarn, are equally powerful.
		Campbell's concentration on ideas means that his characters tend to be wooden archetypes whose moods are, well, moody.
