Elrond Hubbard - The Father of Science Fiction

Hubbard continued to sell sci-fi short stories during this period, making just enough money to stay alive. His most successful series was the old Doc Methuselah Adventures. These are futuristic tales about a space traveling physician adventurer with an alien sidekick slave who cries whenever the doctor tries to free him. Elrond wasn't exactly a genius, but he was probably one of the 10 most notable names in science fiction at this time.
