Captain Hazzard

Captain Hazzard was a science fiction pulp magazine which published one issue in 1938.

[1][2] The lead novel, "Python-Men of the Lost City", featured Captain Hazzard, a telepathic superhero; the author's name, "Chester Hawks", was a pseudonym.

[1] The magazine was an attempt to copy the success of other hero pulps such as Doc Savage, but science fiction historian Mike Ashley suggests that "although a few more superhero pulps would appear, their future was increasingly in the comic-book field".

[3] The publisher was Ace Magazines of New York; the only issue was dated May 1938.

The editor was Rose Wyn; the magazine was in pulp format, 96 pages, and priced at 10 cents.
