Joseph Harold (Harry) Dockweiler was a member of the [[New York]] [[Futurians]], and married [[Rosalind Cohen]], another [[Futurian]]. He shortened his name to Dirk Wylie, at the suggestion of [[Doris Baumgardt]] ([[Leslie Perri]]), another [[Futurian]].  He was a charter member of the [[CPASF]]. He published early [[fanzines]] including ''[[Fantasy Mirror]]'' (some under the [[Ego-Coop]] [[publishing house]]), and was ''the'' [[Ghuist]] [[saint]].  He and [[Frederik Pohl]] operated [[Shaggoth 6]] and he had a car named [[Baby]]. He attended the [[Second Eastern]]. He was one of the earlier casualties of the wars (see [[X Document]]) which effectively ended the [[Futurians]].
 
 
 
Later he published [[SF]] in [[pulp]] magazines such as ''[[Super Science Stories]]'', ''[[Planet Stories]]'', ''[[Thrilling Wonder Stories]]'', and ''[[Astonishing Stories]]''. Most of his published fiction was with [[Frederik Pohl]] and [[Cyril Kornbluth]] as co-authors. He wrote at least one [[SF]] story with [[Frederic Arnold Kummer, Jr.]], "When Time Went Mad." Dockweiler also used the [[pseudonyms]] of Paul Dennis Lavond and Elliott Whitney.
 
 
 
He served in [[WWII]], and set up a literary agency ([[Dirk Wylie Literary Agents]]) after the [[War]], with the help of [[Frederik Pohl]]. He and [[Pohl]] had gone to school together before joining the [[Futurians]]. Dockweiler died in 1948 of tuberculosis of the spine. His widow wanted to continue the agency, and did so with [[Pohl]] as her partner.
