Overview: William Morrison was a pseudonym of Joseph Samachson (October 13, 1906 – June 2, 1980). He was an American scientist and author, primarily of science fiction and comic books.
Joseph Samachson was born on October 13, 1906 in Trenton, New Jersey, the son of Russian Jewish parents, Anna (Roshansky) and David Louis Samachson, a businessman.
Joseph Samachson died of complications from Parkinson’s disease on June 2, 1980 in Chicago, Illinois.
His contributions to science fiction fall into two halves. He wrote sporadically for the Pulp magazines between 1941 and 1944, chiefly for the Standard Magazines Thrilling Wonder Stories and Startling Stories. These early stories show his sense of humour, many being written somewhat tongue-in-cheek taking an ironic look at attitudes within society. Samachson continued to produce deceptively simple stories about the human/alien condition throughout the 1950s and yet most of his stories still betrayed a dark humour suggesting that throughout his writing career he was using sf to show human limitations.
