Parr, Sampson. Sampson Parr was created by G.H. Teed (Black Abbot, Sexton Blake, Grant Rushton, Shadow Crook) and appeared in five stories in Modern Wonder in 1937 and 1938, beginning with “The Atom Smashers” (Modern Wonder, Oct 2 1937).

Sampson Parr is a “brilliant physicist” and “astronomer” who was responsible for the discovery that “put rayon into every home” and who is devoted to discovering how to smash the atom. He encounters hostile alien Johnnies and deals with them like a red-blooded Englishman should.
