Chart of the E. Mayne Hull Stories

This chart is designed to complement both Isaac's and Don's articles on the E. Mayne Hull authorship controversy.

This chart shows the van Vogt and Hull stories as they appeared in each issue of Astounding Science Fiction and Unknown Worlds from December 1942 to January 1946, and is particularly useful for illustrating the "two stories per issue" situation that necessitated the creation of the Hull pen-name. It is worth noting that with the sole exception of The Winged Man (May-June 1944), every Hull story that appeared by itself (i.e., in an issue without a van Vogt story also appearing) were those that were part of a series already credited to Hull.
