The Vanguard of Venus (1928) is now more of a curiosity than a good science fiction story.
The Vanguard of Venus was a promotional booklet sent out by Amazing Stories magazine to its readers in 1928. Anyone, whether a subscriber or not, could write in to the magazine and receive a free copy of the story. No doubt editor Hugo Gernsback used the story as a marketing research tool to find where in the country his readers were located, as well as to prepare a subscriber base of science fiction fans that he would use to launch his Wonder Stories magazines after Amazing’s Experimenter Publishing was forced into bankruptcy in March 1929.
Landell Bartlett (1897-1972) was an author and editor who lived in Colorado. He was part of the science fiction fan community there into at least the 1950s. His last name was misspelled as Barlett on the cover and title page. However, he was correctly named on the advertising page for the booklet. Bartlett’s story never appeared in print in Amazing Stories and the original pamphlet has become a prized collector’s item.
The Vanguard of Venus has 4 illustrations.
