Does anyone have any biographical information on Chester Martin? He is likely the artist on the first few installments of Futura as well as the cover artist of several issues of Planet Stories. Almost every cover I can find was dated for 1946 except one, a cover for Science Fiction Digest volume 1, number 1 that was done in 1954.
Obviously, Mr. Martin was an in-house artist for Fiction House in 1946 but he doesn't have many credits beyond that. Was it a pen name used by an artist while he worked for Fiction House? Or was he perhaps an industrial artist or graphic designer who did a year as a cover artist before giving up comics and pulps?
Any information people have would be appreciated.
