Larry Stark

"[1] In 1950 Stark discovered EC Comics (publishers of Tales From The Crypt, Weird Science, and MAD among others) and was soon writing enthusiastic letters of comment and criticism on every issue.

EC colorist Marie Severin made a gag sign for Gaines' office that read "God help us to write stories that will please Larry Stark!"

In 1956-57 he co-edited the publication Stellar with Ted White, who recalled: In the summer and fall of 1957, Stark acted in two Harvard stage productions and then worked backstage at Cambridge theaters for the next five years.

[3] During this period he used a basement mimeograph machine to print the work of local poets with his Larry Stark Press, notable for publishing Peter Guralnick's first book in 1964.

Returning to the Boston area, he acquired a computer which he used to create fiction and also to write theater reviews posted on General Electric's online service, GEnie.
