I need info on 50’s American sci fi

Well, if it’s comedy sci fi, you might like to get some inspiration from some pretty hoopy sci fi books of around that time.

My fave would be the classic ‘Lensman’ series by E. E. (Doc) Smith. It was like cowboys in space and is rip-roaring stuff. He was a prolific writer but I guess you’d get most of the gist of his work from reaing one book.

Not sure if it was fifties though (might have been forties).
