David Griffiths

(c. 1918 – ????)

David Arthur Griffiths was a UK writer active between 1950 and 1952 although never under his own name. He attended the 1951 Festivention in London.

The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction says his 'obscurity is only marginally lessened by the knowledge that, while working for Curtis Warren, he invited E. C. Tubb to write his first novels' but Steve Holland at BearAlley said 'Although Griffiths wrote the kind of space opera yarns typical of the time, he was a reasonably imaginative writer and certainly a cut above his contemporaries at Curtis Warren'. Holland adds that his 'writing career was cut short when, in the Winter of 1951-52, he joined the Royal Army Medical Corps., never to return to science fiction.'
