Scott Edelman (/ˈɛdəlmən/; born 1955) is an American science fiction, fantasy, and horror writer and editor.

Career

In the 1970s, he worked in American comic books, in particular writing horror comics for both Marvel Comics and DC Comics. For Marvel he created the Scarecrow, and wrote some stories involving Captain America, Captain Marvel, and Omega the Unknown. He edited four issues of Marvel's self-produced fan magazine, FOOM, in the mid-1970s.

Edelman has also written a number of short stories, the Lambda Award-nominated novel The Gift,^[1] and written for television, including work for Hanna-Barbera and several episodes of Tales from the Darkside.

He was the founding and only editor of the science fiction magazine Science Fiction Age, which was published by Sovereign Media Co. from 1992 until 2000.^[2] He published and edited the semi-professional magazine Last Wave from 1982 to 1985, which was billed as "The Last Best Hope of Speculative Fiction" and published short fiction by Thomas M. Disch, Avram Davidson, and Ian Watson among other established authors. He was the founding editor of Rampage, a magazine covering professional wrestling, and has written unauthorized biographies of wrestlers Chyna and Stone Cold Steve Austin. Other magazines edited by Edelman include Sci-Fi Universe, Sci-Fi Flix, and Satellite Orbit.

In December 1996, while still the editor of Science Fiction Age, Edelman also became editor of Sovereign Media's Sci-Fi Entertainment, the official print magazine of the Sci-Fi Channel. He left Sovereign Media, and his role at Sci-Fi Entertainment (by then renamed SCI FI magazine), in June 2000, but returned to be editor of Sci-Fi Channel's online magazine, Science Fiction Weekly, before transferring back to be editor of SCI FI in February 2002.

Edelman wrote stories that were included in Eden Studios's zombie anthologies edited by James Lowder.^[3]^: 341
