Who?

Notes

In a November 1981 Amazing Stories interview by Darrell Schweitzer, Algis Budrys talked about the origin of "Who?". It all started with an illustration by Frank Kelly Freas, which Budrys saw in office of Fantastic Universe magazine. Although counter to magazine policy, they bought his novelette "Who?" inspired by the Freas illustration and published it in the April 1955 Fantastic Universe with the Freas cover. Interestingly enough, they did not identify "Who?" as the cover story. Budrys realized he could build a novel around the character and situation of "Who?". There are some pieces of the 1955 novelette incorporated in the novel but for the most part it was inspired by it.

• "Pyramid Books Edition 1958" • Printing not stated, no number line • "Cover painting by Robert V. Engel" on the back cover; the artwork is also signed. • Printed in the US
