Harlan Ellison Bibliography

[j. d. worthington]

Okay: here's a short version of an Ellison bibliography to help with those interested, or to help those who are familiar with some things and not others to place them in his career. I think I've covered just about everything, but I may have missed something. I've kept it to books, though there have been CDs, comics, screenplays, etc. galore. If I've missed anything that anyone is aware of and thinks might be helpful, please add. Thanks.

Fabulous effort JD and thanks for the extra info!...

Thanks, j. d. There's quite a bit of stuff on there that I'm familiar with, and a whole lot that I wasn't aware of, as much of a fan as I am.

The thing that really stands out to me as I scan the list is the graphic novel of Demon With a Glass Hand. I'd really like to find that...I remember seeing that Outer Limits episode way back when I was a kid and it was first telecast, and it freaked the living crap out of me.

I just wish my local library system would carry more Ellison.
