Biography
R.D. Mullen was a critic and a scholar, and emeritus professor of English at Indiana State University. Mullen was a founding member of the Science Fiction Research Association. In 1973 he established Science Fiction Studies and was its publisher with Darko Suvin, its co-editor through 1978; he returned to the journal as an editor in 1991 and managing editor from the November 1991 issue. He and Suvin also edited Science-Fiction Studies: Selected Articles on Science Fiction 1973-75 and Science-Fiction Studies: Second Series: Selected Articles on Science Fiction 1976-77. On Philip K Dick: 40 Articles from Science-Fiction Studies, he assembled some significant Philip K Dick criticism, plus some less useful strictly academic pieces. Mullen's editorial personality was relaxed, sensible, meticulous, and always demonstrated an eagerness to get the facts straight, qualities which also permeated his interesting criticism, mostly published in Extrapolation and Science Fiction Studies.
