Sobre IBD

George Allan England (1877-1936) was an explorer and author of, inter alia, five science fiction novels and over a dozen magazine serials and short stories from 1905 on; these appeared predominantly in Frank A. Munsey’s magazines, where he was one of the more popular writers of the pre-1926 period, ranking as the closest rival in science fiction to Edgar Rice Burroughs. The Alibi first appeared as an All-Story Weeklyserial and was subsequently adapted as a silent film. In it, a young bank employee, falsely convicted of embezzlement, spends two years in Sing Sing before being cleared. 3
