Isaac Asimov,
Letter to Comet, Jul 1941
(1941)
“ It's a curious coincidence but in three of the first four issues of Comet a Binder story appeared, and each time I stamped it as most enjoyable in the issue. That's pretty good. In fact, that's damned good.Also, I am panting heavily with excitement while waiting for E. E. Smith's novelet in the next issue. I order you to see to it that future stories of the series be printed in consecutive issues for an indefinite period. If Smith refuses to write that fast, give him a shot of adrenalin, or argue his boss into firing him—so that he can have more time to write. ”
