Today is the 103rd Birthday of fictioneer, screenwriter, and Queen of Space Opera, Leigh Brackett!

To celebrate, we’re doing a roundup of some classic posts about and reviews of Brackett’s works.

Jeffro Johnson’s look at Brackett during his famed Appendix N Survey:

• Outpost on Io
• The Sword of Rhiannon

Jeffro also did a post on her for her centennial.

My own reviews of Brackett:

• The Vanishing Venusians
• The Moon that Vanished
• Queen of the Martian Catacombs
• The Enchantress of Venus
• Black Amazon of Mars
• Lorelei of the Red Mists
• Shadow Over Mars
• Hatari
• Starmen

• Part 1
• Part 2
