Campbell Wrote Super-Science Space Opera Under His Own Name And Stories Under His Primary Pseudonym Don A. Stuart. Campbell Also Used The Pen Names Karl Van Kampen And Arthur Mccann. His Novella Who Goes There Was Adapted As The Films The Thing From Another World 1951 The Thing 1982 And The Thing 2011.

In 1939 Campbell Started The Fantasy Magazine Unknown Which Was Canceled After Only Four Years. Referring To His Time Spent As An Editor The Encyclopedia Of Science Fiction States: "More Than Any Other Individual He Helped To Shape Modern Sf."Isaac Asimov Called Campbell "The Most Powerful Force In Science Fiction Ever" And Said The "First Ten Years Of His Editorship He Dominated The Field Completely." In His Capacity As An Editor Campbell Published Some Of The Very Earliest Work And Helped Shape The Careers Of Virtually Every Important Science-Fiction Author To Debut Between 1938 And 1946 Including Asimov Robert A. Heinlein Theodore Sturgeon A. E. Van Vogt And Arthur C. Clarke. An Increasingly Strong Interest In Dianetics And Other Pseudoscience Later Alienated Campbell From Asimov.
