13. Established Writer 170 Novels and Over 200 Short stories The Guardian Obituary for Henry Kenith Bulmer Ken Bulmer Exploring the galaxies of fiction with an army of pen-names Steve Holland Thursday December 22, 2005 The Guardian Ken Bulmer, who has died aged 84, was the author of 170 novels and more than 200 short stories and articles. But the fact that they were written under a dizzying variety of pen-names meant that his achievements remained known only to a limited number of fans, who would seek out his work, whether science fiction, historical adventure or novelisations of TV shows. For all his output, Bulmer was no hack. He once said: "A hack can turn his hand to anything and bang it off. I can't. I have to be involved with what I do and want to do it." The durability of those characters he particularly enjoyed - the planet-spanning Dray Prescot and the maritime adventurer George Abercrombie Fox - proved his ability to sustain an audience over a long series. The Fox series (14 novels, written between 1973 and 1977, as by Adam Hardy) drew on Bulmer's fascination with maritime history, as he charted Fox's life from powder-monkey through years as a naval lieutenant. Fox, although talented and courageous, had no noble patronage and had to seek prize money, whether state-supported piracy or as a highwayman, to support his family and advance his position. Dray Prescot, the star of 53 fantasy novels (1972-98, as by Alan Burt Ackers), was a hero in the tradition of Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter; transported to the twin-sunned Scorpio system 400 light-years from Earth, he helps rebuild an empire before discovering he is the pawn in a galactic battle between the Star Lords and the Savanti. Bulmer was born and educated in London, and worked in the paper merchandising industry before serving with the Royal Corps of Signals in Africa, Sicily and Italy in the second world war. Returning home in 1946, he renewed his acquaintance with other science fiction followers, honing his writing skills through self-published fan magazines. His first novel, Space Treason (1952) was written with fellow fan A Vince Clarke. Bulmer turned freelance in 1954, producing dozens of novels for the burgeoning UK and US paperback market, and short stories for New Worlds, Authentic SF, Nebula and other leading SF magazines. During lean times he also turned his hands to comic strips, co-creating at least one classic in The Steel Claw, which told the story of how sallow-faced laboratory assistant Louis Crandell discovered he could become invisible by absorbing electricity through his artificial hand. Although Bulmer's early novels were entertainingly written, they were typical space operas about galactic invasions, space piracy and space wars, though with a political edge and darker tone than most SF of the time. In the late 1960s, he changed style with such novels as The Ulcer Culture and On the Symb-Socket Circuit, which satirised the culture of hedonism, though they met with mixed reaction. In the 1970s, Bulmer was a member of the Piccadilly Cowboys group, who turned their pens to writing genre fiction, and found himself writing everything from historicals set in Anglo-Saxon England (Wolfshead, as by Arthur Frazier) and Rome (The Eagles, as by Andrew Quiller) to U-boat adventures (as by Bruno Krauss), Falklands war novels (as by Adam Hardy) and adaptations of the TV series The Professionals (as by Ken Blake). The multitude of pen-names - about 25 in all - was partly a response to his disappointment at how some of his novels were received, and partly to disguise the fact that the series were often written by two or three authors. Throughout this period, Bulmer kept up his output of Dray Prescot fantasies and created a second byline, Manning Norvil, for heroic fantasies featuring Odan the Half-God. A change in policy at his American publishers, DAW Books, led to the Prescot series being cancelled in 1988, but the books were popular enough in Europe that Bulmer's German publisher continued the series for another decade. His writing career was halted in 1997 when he suffered a stroke. Bulmer was the 1955 winner of Taff (a fund designed to send prominent fans to conventions abroad) and attended the World SF Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, as British guest of honour. In 1974 he was made a life member of the British SF Association. He married Pamela Kathleen Buckmaster in 1953, and had two daughters and one son, who survive him. • Henry Kenneth 'Ken' Bulmer, writer, born January 14 1921; died December 16 2005
