Captain Hazzard was a science fiction pulp magazine which published one issue in 1938.[1] It was published by Aaron Wyn's Ace Magazines, and edited by Aaron's wife, Rose Wyn.[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. The magazine also contained some shorter fiction. The lead novel was reprinted in 1974 by Robert Weinberg.[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.[1]
