The Titan (collection)

The Titan is a collection of science fiction short stories by the American writer P. Schuyler Miller. It was first published by Fantasy Press in 1952 in an edition of 2,069 copies. The stories originally appeared in the magazines Marvel Tales, Astounding, Weird Tales, Amazing Stories and Wonder Stories. Miller recreated and revised the title piece (whose serialization was never finished) from an early longhand draft because the original manuscript had been lost.[1]
