DR. YEN SIN

DR. YEN SIN
   US PULP MAGAZINE. 3 bimonthly issues, May/June-Sep/Oct 1936. Published by Popular Publications; ed Rogers Terrill. DYS was a follow-up to an earlier Popular title, The MYSTERIOUS WU FANG , itself intended to capitalize on the popularity of Sax ROHMER's Fu Manchu; in fact the cover of \#1 had originally been painted for the previous title. All issues featured lead novels by Donald E. Keyhoe (1897-1988), whose several books on flying saucers later helped foment the UFO craze of the early 1950s. Yen Sin was a conventional yellow-peril supervillain, intent on world conquest with the aid of superscience. His opponent, Michael Traile, had been accidentally deprived of the ability to sleep, so read a lot. The lead novel of \#1 was reprinted by Robert E. WEINBERG as Pulp Classics No. 9 (1976).
