A 1950 – 51 NBC science fiction program, DIMENSION X was one of the first weekly “adult” science fiction anthology programs to be featured on radio. The NBC radio drama was followed over the years by adaptations on SUSPENSE, RADIO CITY PLAYHOUSE, ESCAPE and DIMENSION X. The issue featured cover art by Rafael DeSoto. Originally appearing in the July 1944 issue of Popular Publications’ DETECTIVE TALES, the novella was one of the young author’s first sales to the detective pulps.
NBC’s MOLLÉ MYSTERY THEATRE broadcast “Killer Come Back To Me” on May 17, 1946. Within five years, his stories were being adapted for the mass medium – not Hollywood – but radio. Ray Bradbury made his first professional sale in 1941, a collaboration with Henry Hasse that sold to SUPER SCIENCE STORIES. Unfortunately, that has not always been the case.
When his mother introduced him to the motion picture at the age of three - they saw Lon Chaney as THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME - Ray Bradbury should have been a perfect fit for Hollywood.
