Today marks the debut of author C. H. Thames on our podcast, but it doesn’t really. Let me explain. He was born Milton Lesser in Brooklyn New York in 1928. He changed his name legally in the 1950s to Stephen Marlowe. C. H. Thames is one of several pen names he used during his lengthy career.

Milton Lesser can be found in episode 11 of the The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast paired with Philip K. Dick’s The Eyes Have It. Lesser, who became Marlowe, also used the pen name Darius John Granger, and his time travel story Stop, You’re Killing Me! can be heard in Episode 18.

So, Planet of Doom is actually his 3rd appearance on the podcast.

Planet of Doom was first published in Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy in June 1956. A reporter always looks for the big story, and here it was but it couldn’t be told! Let’s turn to page 82 for Planet of Doom…

Next week on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast… He was running, running down the long tunnels, the shadows hunting him, claws clutching at him, nearer... Small World, by request, written by William F. Nolan...
