S.J. Byrne was a favorite of Palmer. He published a novel by him in Amazing Feb 1948 Prometheus II. It began a series that continued in OW with three long stories "Colossus" May 1950, "Colossus II" July 1950, and "Colossus III" September 1950. "The Golden Guardsmen" was a continuation of that series. Byrne had another long story in an issue of Imagination. He also wrote under the name John Bloodstone and Palmer promoted him as the new Burroughs and announced a novel "Tarzan on Mars" but it never appeared probably due to almost certain legal action from ERB Inc. I seem to recall reading that copies of the manuscript circulated among fans. It may be Ted White can enlighten me on that story. I know Ted liked OW (as did I). Now that I think of it, I wrote a letter after Palmer's death published in Ted's Amazing on Palmer's style as an editor.<br /><br /> Richard Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770090814220403413noreply@blogger.com
