From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Ron Goulart (born 1933) is an American pop-culture historian and mystery, fantasy, and science fiction author.
In his fiction-writing, Goulart is best-known for his humorous crime and science fiction, especially that dealing with robots; his crime fiction often involves historical Hollywood figures, such as Groucho Marx. His first professional publication was a reprint, in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, of a parody of a pulp magazine readers' letters column, originally published in the University of California, Berkeley college humor magazine Pelican.
Among his pop-culture historical writing, Cheap Thrills: An Informal History of the Pulp Magazines (1972) might still be his most famous book-length work, though his The Hardboiled Dicks: An Anthology And Study of Pulp Detective Fiction (1967) has also been influential. He has also written, on comics and many other topics, for the nostalgia magazine P.S. and many others, and has conducted the book review column for Venture Science Fiction.
Goulart ghost wrote the popular Tekwar series of books credited to the actor William Shatner (Shatner is said to have written the outlines for the books, although that is in dispute). He has also ghosted novels featuring the Phantom, Flash Gordon, and the pulp character the Avenger. In addition, he has written scripts for a number of comics including the Star Hawks comic strip he created with artist Gil Kane, as well as the comic book version of TekWar.
