   Clement Fezandié created Dr. Hackensaw, SF Frankenstein-like character:, who appeared in Science and Invention from 1921 through 1925. Hackensaw, an amiable, white-haired old man clearly modeled on Thomas Edison, was a scientist and inventor par excellence who created inventions on the frontiers of science. Hackensaw is perhaps the quintessential Gernsbackian sf character. Among his inventions: invisibility, androids, genetic engineering, matter transmitters, mechanical hypnosis, drug-induced time travel, element transmutation, and space travel.
   Doctor Hackensaw stories though amusingly varied in their presentation of the Doctor's scientific feats, seemed more an epilogue than a way forward. As a form suitable for adult reading, the seemingly moribund edisonade was saved by SPACE OPERA.
