Arthur K. Barnes

Arthur Kelvin Barnes (6 December 1909 – 11 March 1969) was an American science fiction author.

Barnes was most noted for his vivid and believable portrayals of alien life.

Before Barnes (and Weinbaum), SF writers usually portrayed aliens as earth-like monsters, with little originality.

[2] Several stories by Barnes were collaborations with the author Henry Kuttner, including several of the Hollywood on the Moon, Pete Manx, and Gerry Carlyle series of stories.
